  "account": "Lithuanian Embassy in Kyiv suffered minor damage during Russia's missile attack on Saturday, August 1, according to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha. Sybiha expressed solidarity with Lithuania and condemned Russia's actions, stating that \"Russian terror spares no one and respects no international norms, including the provisions of the Vienna Convention.\" Russia launched a total of 35 missiles, including 27 ballistic missiles, and 185 drones at Ukraine overnight on August 1. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept two missiles and 154 drones, primarily defending Kyiv and its surrounding region. This attack marked the second major Russian strike on the capital in a short span of time, following a mass bombardment on July 30. Fires broke out in several districts of Kyiv, resulting in the partial destruction of a five-story apartment building in the Solomianskyi district. In the Darnytskyi district, seven people were killed and administrative and nonresidential buildings sustained damage. The Kyivmedspetstrans municipal medical transportation company also experienced damage, with ambulances catching fire. Kyiv's capital witnessed nine fatalities, including a police officer, and thirty individuals were injured, comprising four children.",
