  "account": "In the Dnipropetrovsk region, a Russian drone strike on a residential apartment building claimed the lives of four individuals and left 13 others injured. Meanwhile, separate drone attacks in Kharkiv resulted in the death of one person and the wounding of four more, including three emergency rescue workers. The head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Hanzha, reported that the attack on the multi-story apartment complex ignited a fire on the fourth floor, causing significant damage to nearby retail shops and parked civilian vehicles.\n\nThirteen civilians sustained various injuries, with a 62-year-old man succumbing to his wounds in a local hospital the following morning. Additionally, 13 patients remained hospitalized in serious condition, with two women and a man receiving surgical treatment before being transferred to a regional clinical facility in Dnipro. A 50-year-old woman and a 70-year-old man were among those admitted in critical condition.\n\nConcurrently, Russian forces conducted a series of drone strikes in Kharkiv, killing one civilian and injuring four others. The Novobavarskyi district bore the brunt of the attack, with a turbojet-powered strike drone killing a person and injuring four others, setting ablaze a single-story structure. In the Osnovianskyi district, a commercial shopping center suffered extensive damage from strike drones, while an unmanned aerial munition struck a civilian commercial enterprise in the Industrialnyi district, triggering secondary fires and injuring a civilian worker.\n\nThe rescue efforts were further complicated when Russian forces targeted the operational area of responding emergency detachments, wounding two rescue personnel and destroying an DSNS fire-tanker truck. A third firefighter suffered injuries while battling the major fire at the shopping center. The drone attacks in Synelnykove and Kharkiv were part of a broader Russian offensive targeting Ukrainian residential settlements and emergency services over the weekend.",
