  "account": "A Russian drone attack in Kyiv's Solomyanskyi district resulted in one fatality and seven injuries, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service (SES). The incident occurred in a nine-story apartment building where a fire broke out and a significant portion of the exterior wall was destroyed. Photos released by the SES depict a large hole in the building around the fifth-floor level. Emergency workers are still clearing the collapsed structures. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that one person was killed and seven others sustained injuries at the scene. All seven victims received medical assistance on the spot. Rescuers successfully pulled three individuals from the damaged building. Explosions were heard in Kyiv in the early hours of November 12, prompting warnings of incoming jet-powered drones. The Kyiv City Military Administration confirmed that a 44-year-old woman died as a result of the drone strike. Overnight, Russian forces conducted ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv and the surrounding region, causing damage to production and warehouse facilities in the Obukhiv district and a separate strike on Brovary. Ukraine's Air Force stated that the overnight attack involved Iskander-M/KN-23/S-400 ballistic missiles, Zircon anti-ship missiles, and 123 drones.",
