  "account": "A Russian attack in Ukraine's southeastern Zaporizhzhia region killed five people and wounded 24 others, according to regional authorities. The incident occurred when a ballistic missile struck a residential area, causing explosions in Kyiv as well. Ivan Fedorov, head of the regional military administration, confirmed the casualties on social media platform Telegram. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that the capital was under a ballistic missile attack, with emergency services dispatched to Shevchenkivsky district. Russian forces reportedly targeted industrial facilities and infrastructure in Zaporizhzhia. President Volodymyr Zelensky had previously stated that Russia was preparing to deploy additional North Korean troops and had received new ballistic missiles from Pyongyang. The increasing number of ballistic missile strikes by Russia has strained Ukraine's air defense capabilities, as the shortage of interceptor missiles, particularly the US PAC-3, has worsened since the war began two years ago.",
  "summary": "The number of casualties continues to rise as Russia increasingly deploys long-range missiles against Ukrainian cities.",
