  "account": "A Russian strike in Kyiv overnight claimed the life of one individual and injured two others, as reported by local authorities on October 2. The attack targeted a 25-story residential building in the Darnytskyi district, initially causing confusion over the casualty count. Russian forces also struck the Southern Bridge and Paton Bridge once more, Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed. The closures led to several bus routes being rerouted through alternative bridges like Darnytskyi and Podilskyi. No damage was reported to the Paton Bridge or the Metro Bridge. This incident follows a string of repeated Russian attacks on Kyiv over the past few days, with strikes on the Southern Bridge multiple times on October 1 causing significant disruptions to transportation.",
  "summary": "Kyiv has faced repeated Russian attacks in recent days. A large-scale Russian missile and drone attack beginning on Sept. 30 killed four people and injured at least eight, while also damaging residential and energy infrastructure in the capital.",
