  "account": "Russian forces launched a drone attack on a central park in Nova Vodolaha, a town in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, according to Ivan Vyhivskyi, head of Ukraine’s Interior Ministry. The strike resulted in the deaths of six individuals: a man, three women, and two girls. Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, identified the two girls as being 11 years old and just over a year old. A total of 15 people were wounded in the attack, including seven children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that the younger girl was named Angelina, and her mother, Inna, also perished in the strike. Zelensky attributed the attack to a Shahed drone. In Meduza’s archives, residents of Kharkiv describe life under constant Russian bombardment, with one person stating, \"I want to live a bit longer.\" The deliberate murder of children is emphasized as a particular tragedy in Ukraine's ongoing conflict. Russia has previously launched missile strikes in Ukraine, including one that killed 22 people, including five children, in Pryluky, northern Ukraine. Meduza maintains transparency about its use of artificial intelligence in the newsroom, with every story reviewed by a human journalist and translated using an AI model configured to adhere to strict editorial standards.",
