Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv arms expo kills 10, wounds 100

A Russian ballistic missile hit a weapons exhibition being held at a private training ground near Kyiv on 24 July 2026. Ukrainian officials reported at least ten fatalities and more than one hundred injuries among civilians and defense‑industry personnel. The General Prosecutor’s Office opened a war‑crimes investigation and a separate probe into possible negligence by the event’s organizers. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed rescue operations were underway and said the strike underscored the ongoing danger of Russian long‑range attacks on Ukrainian territory.

The attack was part of a broader wave of Russian missile strikes across the Kyiv region that day, but the weapons expo was the most lethal target, prompting international condemnation and calls for stricter security measures for military‑industry events in wartime.
