A medical student from Kerala in her early 20s said huge sounds of the explosion could be heard frequently in the wee hours and they were all concerned about their safety.
Thiruvananthapuram: "We were asked by the authorities to move to the bunkers in the university hostel at the earliest taking essential belongings. We have only limited storage of food and water with us. Network coverage may be lost anytime," a visibly anxious Arundhathi told a local television channel from Ukraine's capital Kyiv. The eastern European nation is facing a Russian onslaught since February 24.
In her video call, the ordeal they were going through was very much visible as over 60 students could be seen sitting jam-packed on the floor holding their backpacks and essential articles in the congested bunker, where there was only very dim light.

Ashra, another student studying in a university located in central Ukraine said she and the other Indian students were very much worried as they had no clear guidance on what they should do and where they should stay.
"There are 200-300 students from Kerala alone in our campus. We are not getting any clear guidance on what to do. Initially, we were asked to move to the bunker...When we packed our bags and reached there, our university head asked us to go back to our hostel room. So we came back. Movement is very risky these times," she said.
