  "account": "On September 26th, Russia conducted an airstrike in Sumy, a northern Ukrainian city, using three guided aerial bombs, according to Serhii Kryvosheienko, head of the Sumy City Military Administration. The attack resulted in 23 people being injured, among them four children, with two fatalities occurring in a residential area. Three children—aged 14, 8, and 11 months—along with two adults, were hospitalized following the strike. Emergency services are attending to the wounded. The bombing caused significant damage, affecting dozens of apartment buildings, a private home, a cultural facility, two preschool institutions, administrative buildings, and over 20 vehicles. Kryvosheienko confirmed that two men were killed and six others, including an 11-month-old child, sustained injuries, all of whom are receiving medical care. The strikes targeted two locations: an administrative building and residential high-rises, as well as a defunct café in a park area. Preceding this incident, Russia had already targeted Sumy's Zarichnyi district on September 23rd with the same type of bombs, injuring at least seven individuals. On the same day, September 26th, Russia launched a large-scale strike on Kyiv, causing damage to internet infrastructure and disrupting broadcasting services.",
