  "account": "A Russian missile barrage overnight Thursday claimed the lives of at least six individuals in Kyiv, with explosions reverberating across the capital throughout the night, according to local authorities. At least 33 people were wounded in the attack, reported Ukraine's Emergency Service. The air raid alert persisted into the early morning hours of Thursday. The strikes targeted 12 locations in Kyiv's Darnytskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, and Solomianskyi districts, causing damage to residential buildings, a medical facility, and an educational institution. Rescue crews worked to extricate people trapped under the rubble.\n\nRussia has ramped up ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv to deplete the city's air defense supplies. Kyiv's defenses are limited in intercepting ballistic threats, as the country has a scarcity of missiles for its U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems. The United States authorized Ukraine to secure licenses to manufacture Patriot air-defense systems, but subsequently reversed that decision. Simultaneously, Ukraine has ramped up its own campaign of long-range strikes against weapons depots.",
