  "summary": "A Russian drone struck the headquarters of Ukraine's SBU security services in Kyiv on Friday, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The strike targeted the SBU head's personal office, Zelensky said, and he instructed the SBU to deliver a response to the attack.\n\nThe attack was described as a \"major escalation\" by Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga, who called on partners to increase pressure on Russia. The strike occurred in central Kyiv, near St. Sophia Cathedral, and specifically targeted the office of SBU chief Oleksandr Poklad, according to New Voice of Ukraine.\n\nThe attack took place during the day, which is unusual as most Russian drone and missile attacks in Kyiv have occurred at night, CBC News reported. The incident comes as American envoys were said to be planning imminent visits to Kyiv and Moscow, according to The New York Times.",
