  "account": "On October 19, a Russian drone strike on a park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Oblast, resulted in the death of a 12-year-old boy, Artem Koval, and left six people dead, including three children, according to local authorities. The strike occurred around 4:30 p.m. local time when families with children were enjoying the park. Artem suffered severe injuries and died a week later in a Kyiv hospital, while his 8-year-old sister, Arina, was killed at the scene. In addition to the three children, at least 15 people were injured in the attack, with seven of them being children. Russian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack as an \"absolute atrocity,\" stating that a one-year-old girl, Anhelina, and the 14-year-old girl were also killed. Ukrainian prosecutors have initiated a pre-trial investigation into the alleged war crime.",
  "summary": "Artem Koval suffered severe injuries in the drone strike and was taken to hospital. Despite a week of efforts to save him, doctors were unable to overcome his life-threatening injuries, the Vodolaha Village Council said.",
