  "account": "At least 10 people lost their lives and 73 were injured across Ukraine in recent attacks, as Russia continued to target residential buildings and energy infrastructure, regional authorities reported on Oct. 11-12. In Kharkiv Oblast, Russia struck the city and surrounding settlements, killing five and injuring 42, according to regional governor Oleh Syniehubov. In Zhytomyr Oblast, an energy facility faced Russian attacks overnight on Oct. 12, with no reported casualties, reported regional governor Vitalii Bunechko. Kyiv experienced damage to a high-voltage power line, leaving large parts of the city without running water, as Mayor Vitalii Klitschko stated. Overnight on Oct. 12, Russian forces launched 121 Shahed-type attack drones, including 76 jet-powered versions, along with decoy drones, according to Ukraine's Air Force. Ukrainian air defenses managed to down or suppress 89 drones, with strikes recorded at 15 locations, the Air Force added. In Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, Russian attacks killed three Ukrainian service members and injured three others on Oct. 11, Mayor Ruslan Martsinkiv confirmed. In Donetsk Oblast, one person was killed and 18 others were injured in Russian attacks over the past day, with the city of Sloviansk suffering the most losses, including one death and 10 injuries, reported regional governor Vadym Filashkin. A Russian drone strike on a civilian car in Sumy Oblast resulted in one death and three injuries, including two ambulance workers, according to regional authorities. In Kherson Oblast, Russian attacks injured two people, reported regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin. Zaporizhzhia Oblast also faced 817 attacks from Russia over the past day, resulting in one injury, according to regional authorities. Dnipropetrovsk and Chernihiv oblasts also witnessed Russian attacks, but no casualties were reported. Russia frequently targets Ukraine's energy infrastructure, especially prior to winter, as Trump claimed a so-called energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine on Oct. 11.",
