  "account": "Since the beginning of 2026, Russian attacks have injured a total of 1,125 residents in Kyiv, with more than one-third of the injuries occurring over a span of just five weeks from late August to early October, according to Tetiana Mostepan, the director of Kyiv City State Administration’s Department of Health. Mostepan revealed this during an interview published on October 13.\n\nRussian air attacks on Kyiv have escalated since late August, with both day and night attacks taking place, targeting not only military facilities but also civilian buildings, including apartments. Consequently, the number of casualties has risen. Over 40% of emergency medical responses to these attacks this year took place between late August and early October, Mostepan highlighted.\n\nIn this period, Kyiv's emergency medical teams handled 782 calls related to the attacks, as reported by the department director. Additionally, Mostepan released data showing that 138 medical facilities in Kyiv have been damaged since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion, including 47 this year. She emphasized that \"behind every number is a human life,\" referring to the injured individuals and medical personnel who respond to attack sites to save them.\n\nRussian attacks on Kyiv intensified throughout the day on August 27, as reported by Suspilne Kyiv. Air raid alerts were issued twelve times in the capital, with drone debris found in five districts, and at least four people were injured as a result of the strike. On that same day, Russia utilized approximately 140 attack drones against Ukraine, with more than 100 of them being jet-powered, as confirmed by the Ukrainian Air Force.\n\nAt least 38 people were killed and numerous others injured in a Russian drone strike on an ammunition depot in the Bucha district near Kyiv, causing a massive fire and hours of explosions in a residential area, as reported by CNN. This attack occurred amid continuous Russian airstrikes, which persisted into the following day, according to the outlet.\n\nOn October 1, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stressed the urgent need to bolster support for Ukraine, particularly by providing air defense systems. He emphasized that delays in delivering assistance could lead to the loss of human lives. On October 1, a Russian drone attacked a school in Kyiv’s Solomianskyi district while 104 children were present, but no one was injured as students and school staff took shelter, according to Suspilne News.",
