  "account": "A Ukrainian drone strike in southern Russia resulted in the deaths of two children and their parents, officials reported. The attack targeted a house in the Yeysk district of Russia's Krasnodar region, intensifying Ukraine's campaign of strikes against Russian online retail companies. Separately, a Ukrainian drone attack in central Russia's Samara region claimed one life. Meanwhile, Russian forces struck a Ukrainian shopping centre in Kyiv's Zelensky's hometown of Kryvyi Rih, leading to the disappearance of nine people and the deaths of sixteen others and over a hundred wounded. This follows a recent surge in hostilities during the four-and-a-half-year conflict, with the United Nations noting that civilian casualties this year have reached their highest since the war's inception.",
