  "account": "Multiple missiles struck Kyiv overnight on September 29, causing fires in educational facilities, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. In the Solomyanskyi district, a missile hit an educational institution, sparking a fire. Debris from another missile fell into a courtyard of a residential building, though no fire was reported. In the Pechersky district, a fire erupted in a three-story non-residential building. Eyewitnesses reported hearing blasts throughout the city and observing Patriot PAC-3 interceptors in action. Emergency responders were dispatched to the affected areas. This series of strikes followed four consecutive days of intensified Russian attacks on the capital. On September 28, Russian drones targeted central Kyiv, killing two and injuring 26 people. Subsequent drone strikes hit non-residential buildings in various districts of Kyiv, including the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences building in the city center, which was set ablaze. Education and Sciences Minister Andrii Butenko reported that one of the ministry's buildings sustained damage.",
