  "account": "As Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues, foreign companies in the country are facing an increasing risk of attacks, according to Kyodo news. A factory operated by Japan Tobacco Inc.'s subsidiary in Kremenchuk was targeted twice in September, though the plant was not operational at the time and no one was harmed. Additionally, a McDonald's warehouse near Kyiv was hit by a drone attack in August, leaving outlets in the capital short of certain menu items. An office building in Kyiv housing GlobalLogic, a U.S. IT division of Japan's Hitachi Ltd., also suffered damage from a drone attack on September 25. While it is unclear if these facilities were deliberately targeted, Russian forces have increasingly used high-speed drones in their attacks, raising concerns about potential further damage to foreign businesses. Notably, the National Academy of Sciences building, a historic landmark in Kyiv, became a target, resulting in two deaths and dozens of injuries.",
