  "account": "On Saturday, Russia's defence ministry announced a large-scale overnight attack on Ukrainian infrastructure, targeting the country's largest steelworks in Kryvyi Rih, owned by steel giant ArcelorMittal. The plant had previously suspended operations in September following Russian ballistic missile strikes. The ministry stated that the plant supplied steel products to the Ukrainian military-industrial complex. Additionally, Russian forces targeted an electricity substation in Zhytomyr, a city in the northwest, and another steel plant in Zaporizhzhia, located near the front line. Furthermore, a cargo vessel in the Black Sea was struck, allegedly carrying military cargo to Ukraine's Odesa port. However, Reuters could not independently verify the ministry's report.",
  "summary": "The plant is owned by steel giant ArcelorMittal, which suspended operations in September after a series of Russian ballistic missile strikes.",
