An air raid alert is on across Kyiv and other regions. People are being told to stay in shelters until the all-clear.
So far, no word on damage or deaths. The attack is still going on right now.
That's everything we know.
Why this mattersThis isn't the first strike on Kyiv this week. Hours before this barrage started, Russian ballistic missiles hit the city.
One of them hit the State University of Trade and Economics, in Kyiv's Desnianskyi district. A park next to it got hit too. So did an area near a metro station, and homes nearby.
At least one person was killed, near a supermarket. Ukraine's rescue service found a body by an apartment building that was badly damaged.
Ten people were hurt. Most of them were students. Nine ended up in hospital, three of them seriously. Reuters first said seven were injured, then updated that to 10.
Two medical buildings had their windows blown out. Two paramedics were hurt while responding to one of the strikes.
Power went down in districts on the east side of the Dnipro River.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the missiles hit the university grounds and the area around it, including the park, the area near the metro station, and nearby homes.
That's Ukraine's president saying there was nothing military anywhere near where the missiles landed.
He said people could still be trapped under rubble. He warned more strikes might be coming.
And he used the moment to push Ukraine's allies. He said Ukraine has been waiting nearly a month for America to approve missiles for its Patriot and NASAMS air defence systems.
Moscow has said nothing about either strike. It has denied targeting civilians throughout the war, which started with its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Now here's the timing that matters.
Four days ago, US First Lady Melania Trump announced a ceasefire for the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, in Kherson region. It's meant to let aid in and let 1,700 to 2,000 remaining residents, mostly elderly, get evacuated.
The White House first said the ceasefire would start on 29 October. But a senior Ukrainian official, and Russia's own chief of general staff, Valery Gerasimov, later said it would start on 27 October, 4am Moscow time. Ukraine's human rights ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, said the same thing — 27 October, lasting several days.
So a ceasefire over one occupied city in the south is due to start within hours of missiles hitting the capital.
And this isn't even the first heavy barrage on Kyiv this month. On the night of 22 October, 21 ballistic missiles hit six districts of the city.
Right now, nobody knows how many missiles have been fired tonight, where they're aimed, or whether anyone has been killed or hurt.
