  "account": "On October 12, Russian drones struck Kyiv, causing injuries to at least three individuals, according to city authorities. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that air defenses were active during the attacks, which targeted multiple districts of the Ukrainian capital. Among the casualties was a 38-year-old woman named Yuliia Sheremet, whose elderly and disabled father was at home when the attack took place. Sheremet, who was working nearby, rushed back to her house upon hearing explosions and seeing smoke. Her father was injured but managed to survive, with neighbors assisting in his safe exit from the damaged home. Sheremet expressed amazement that her father \"didn't die today,\" emphasizing the ongoing peril residents face. Other witnesses, such as Kyiv resident Yana Mohal, described the harrowing sound of the attacks and their first-time experience of such strikes close to their homes. Russian attacks have intensified, particularly targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that over 200 strikes hit Ukraine's electricity generation and transmission facilities, along with 17 strikes on gas and oil facilities within the past week. These strikes resulted in more than 150 deaths and over 700 injuries, according to Zelensky's statement.",
  "summary": "\"I'm in shock... I don't know how to carry on. We're all exhausted,\" Kyiv resident Sheremet Yuliia told the Kyiv Independent as the Russian strike on Ukraine's capital injured her father and severely damaged her house.",
