  "account": "On day 1681 of the Russo-Ukrainian war, a Russian drone targeted a school in Kyiv that was housing over 100 students and around 60 staff members. The school, which had initially been used as a shelter, emerged unscathed from the attack, with everyone inside emerging safely despite fires breaking out in two Kyiv districts. The Russian drone utilized a mechanical contact detonator, consisting of metal \"whiskers\" on its surface, to strike the building. Meanwhile, in Sumy, a similar drone attack caused damage to a 19th-century church and a statue of Christ. This incident highlights the ongoing threat faced by civilians in the conflict zone, as well as the evolving tactics employed by both sides in the war.",
  "summary": "NATO chief Mark Rutte says there is no risk of Russia using nuclear weapons against the Baltics, even as Moscow warns that isolating Kaliningrad could trigger a nuclear response.",
