  "account": "In a recent night of intense Russian attacks on Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that over 600,000 households were left without electricity. As per the Ukrainian President's social media post, Russia launched 39 ballistic missiles and over 102 drones against Ukraine's energy infrastructure and critical facilities. He accused Moscow of ignoring U.S. President Donald Trump's call for a ceasefire for attacks on energy facilities, describing it as a deliberate disregard for America's interests in comparison to Russia. Zelensky urged Trump to impose harsh sanctions on Russia and requested additional Patriot anti-missile defense systems that are effective against ballistic missiles but are currently lacking in Ukraine. The Ukrainian Civil Defense reported three deaths in the capital Kyiv, while two people died in separate attacks in the Dnipropetrovsk region and six others were injured. Russia's Defense Ministry confirmed attacks on communication and energy infrastructure in Kyiv and its surroundings, as well as in the Kharkiv region, targeting the energy sector and Ukrainian military forces. Russia also claimed to have shot down 902 Ukrainian drones within its territory and the annexed Crimea. The information cannot be independently verified. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported 493 Ukrainian drones flying towards Moscow during the night, of which 180 were shot down. Several airports in Russia were restricted, including the four capital airports, due to Ukrainian drone attacks. Flights were rerouted around or to different Russian airports, causing temporary passenger delays. The governor of Saratov region, Roman Bussargin, reported a fatality from a Ukrainian drone attack in Balakowo, with several houses damaged. Russia, which has been waging a destructive war against Ukraine for over four and a half years, continues to target targets in Russia's hinterland as part of its defense efforts.",
  "summary": "Russia has attacked Ukraine with 39 ballistic missiles, according to President Zelensky. The consequences are severe. Moscow, for its part, claims to have repelled Kyiv's counterattacks with over 900 drones.",
