  "account": "Dense smog engulfed Kyiv after a night of Russian missile and drone strikes, according to footage shared on social media platforms. The State Emergency Service reported that smoke and soot had accumulated in the upper atmosphere, trapped by an anticyclone and unable to disperse due to lack of wind. Rescue teams advised residents to remain indoors as the polluted air could linger. On September 30, Russian forces initiated a broad attack on Kyiv Oblast, targeting infrastructure across multiple districts. In Vyshhorod, rescuers recovered a child from the rubble, while three individuals sustained injuries. The assault also left two people dead and four others wounded in the capital.",
