  "account": "On October 12, Russian forces launched an attack on a Naftogaz Group facility located in Kharkiv Oblast, according to the company's official statement. The attack involved a drone equipped with a jet engine, which resulted in a fire at the site. Naftogaz technicians are currently engaged in efforts to mitigate the emergency and repair the inflicted damage. Acting Chairman of the Naftogaz Board, Serhiy Fedorenko, emphasized that critical equipment had been affected by the strike, and the company's staff is working tirelessly to restore normal operations and prevent potential risks to the stability of the energy system. This is not the first time Russian forces have targeted Naftogaz Group facilities. On September 22, they struck a Naftogaz oil and gas facility in Poltava Oblast using ballistic missiles. This is the latest in a series of drone and missile strikes targeting Naftogaz facilities since 2022, with the core equipment of the targeted facility often being out of service. The attack on October 12 caused significant damage, making the restoration and future operation of the facility virtually impossible.",
