  "account": "On 29 September, Russian forces deliberately targeted a school in Sumy, Ukraine with a 250-kilogram aerial bomb while children in grades 1–4 were studying inside. Serhii Kryvosheienko, head of the Sumy City Military Administration, confirmed the strike was intentional. About 40 students were in the school shelter at the time, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy later confirmed the attack. Four KABs struck the city center, causing at least two deaths and multiple injuries across Sumy Oblast. The oblast experienced 686 strikes on 51 population centers within 24 hours, with no civilian fatalities reported. This is part of a series of mass attacks on Ukrainian territory, with children now beginning school in bomb shelters due to continued Russian missile, drone, and glide bomb attacks.",
  "summary": "The bomb hit as about 40 children sheltered inside, one of many Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities and villages over the past 24 hours.",
