  "account": "Ukrainian forces launched a drone and missile strike on Voronezh, Russia, on October 26, resulting in two fatalities and 17 injuries, according to preliminary reports from regional governor Alexander Gusev. The attack, which occurred overnight, targeted several apartment buildings and the 25-story Galereya Chizhova business center, as documented by the Telegram channel Astra. Eyewitness video captured damaged structures and vehicles ablaze in nearby parking lots. Residents reported that air raid sirens did not sound during the assault.\n\nAccording to Gusev, 117 Ukrainian drones were intercepted over the region, with over 70 of them intercepted directly over Voronezh. Russian Railways, Russia’s state rail operator, confirmed that a railcar on the Anapa–Moscow train was damaged at the Somovo station within the Voronezh region due to a Ukrainian drone attack, leading to five injuries.\n\nPreviously, Voronezh was struck by Ukrainian forces on October 23 when drones targeted the Baltimor military airfield. The Ukrainian military had also struck the city on a prior occasion in mid-October. Meduza, an independent news outlet, reported this incident, adhering to its commitment to transparency in the use of artificial intelligence in its editorial process. The article was authored by a Meduza journalist and translated from Russian into English while adhering to the outlet's stringent editorial standards.
