  "account": "On October 16, Russian drones struck the city of Rivne in western Ukraine, injuring seven individuals. According to Oleksandr Koval, head of the Rivne region administration, the drones targeted civilian infrastructure such as residential buildings. The attacks continued into the following morning of October 16. Ukrainian media reported that the drones hit the \"Ekvator\" shopping center and the \"Demaks\" home improvement hypermarket, with footage showing the buildings destroyed. This is not the first time Rivne has been targeted by Russian drones; on October 13, a strike hit an academic building at Rivne State University of the Humanities, injuring 30 people.
