Cruise Missle vs Ballistic Missle

I see in the news that Iran fired “ballistic” missles. How are these different than cruise missles and what is used when?

Thank you all in advance.

Are ballistic missiles less deadly? Or is it all dependent on what’s strapped to them? I saw that there have been no reported casualties. One would think with that amount being sent there would be some.
