  "account": "Russian forces launched an airstrike in the city of Slovyansk, Donetsk Oblast, on October 11, targeting two multi-story apartment buildings. Mayor Vadym Lyakh reported on Facebook that seven individuals were injured in the attack. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy later clarified that the Russian forces had destroyed a significant portion of a five-story building, with the potential for trapped victims beneath the rubble. The attack involved the deployment of three FAB-250 bombs, which resulted in the partial destruction of two apartment buildings, along with damage to seven other buildings and a store. Prior to this incident, public transit had been completely halted in Kramatorsk and Slovyansk on October 8 due to Russian strikes. On that same day, Russian forces were responsible for the deaths of 30 people in Kramatorsk when they targeted a public transit stop and scheduled buses. Additionally, a civilian car was struck by a drone operated by Russian forces, resulting in the deaths of both occupants. Overall, the city council recorded that Russian forces were responsible for the deaths of 35 people in Slovyansk on October 11, including three additional fatalities in the nearby settlement of Bilenke.",
