  "account": "On Tuesday, Russia and Ukraine exchanged fresh attacks, with civilian casualties mounting. In Kharkiv, ten civilians died and eighteen were injured in a Russian missile strike on the village of Pechenihy, damaging ten homes, a cafe, a post office, and seven vehicles. The attack targeted a busy intersection. Meanwhile, over 620 Ukrainian drones aimed at Moscow, though most were intercepted, 180 were shot down over the city. Russian officials claimed it was the heaviest drone assault in two years. The UN reported that escalated Russian strikes caused civilian deaths to reach levels unseen since May 2022. Drone attacks on Wildberries' warehouse near Atlant-Park in Kolomna resulted in minor damage. Russian officials criticized the UK for supplying Ukraine with drones, accusing London of enabling neo-Nazi violence and escalating the crisis. German Environment Minister Carsten Schneider visited Kyiv to discuss climate-friendly infrastructure and nuclear power plant safety, including the damaged Chernobyl reactor.",
  "summary": "Ukriane reported 10 dead in a missile strike in the northeastern Kharkiv oblast near the border. Russia, meanwhile, reported more than 600 drones approaching the Moscow area and warned the UK on suppyling drones to Kyiv.",
