  "account": "On September 4, a Russian drone targeted the SBU headquarters in central Kyiv, Ukraine, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The attack wounded at least twelve people, including the acting head of the SBU, Oleksandr Poklad, though he was not injured. Zelenskyy claimed the drone struck the building directly opposite St. Sophia Cathedral, accusing Russia of targeting the SBU head's personal office. The SBU, a heavily fortified government building, had not been hit since the onset of Russia's invasion in 2022. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga called the strike a \"major escalation,\" and both nations have escalated long-range strikes recently. No immediate comment was received from Russia regarding the incident. US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, along with former President Donald Trump, are set to visit Moscow and Kyiv this weekend for peace talks, amid the escalating tensions.",
