  "account": "Russian forces launched a second day of drone attacks on Ukraine's Kyiv region on Friday, August 28, 2026, targeting over a dozen apartment buildings, storage depots, and vehicles, officials reported. The assaults disrupted civilian life and caused damage to infrastructure, with Ukrainian officials describing the strikes as part of a broader campaign to \"weaponize winter.\" The Kyiv regional military administration confirmed that 14 warehouses, 16 private houses, three apartment buildings, and 16 vehicles were affected by the attacks, which killed one person and wounded two others. A subsequent drone strike on an emergency response location, known as a \"double tap,\" targeted first responders. In the southern Kherson region, where a previous drone attack had forced a combined heat and power plant to shut down, officials warned of extended power outages and advised residents to relocate if possible.",
