  "account": "Four individuals lost their lives and over 60 others were injured in a Russian attack on a shopping center in Pavlohrad, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, according to authorities on September 10. Among the injured were three teenage boys aged 13, 14, and 15. The strike occurred around midday when the streets were bustling with people. Interior Minister Ivan Vyhivskyi announced the incident on social media. President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed concern, stating that decisions on additional support, including enhancing Ukraine's air defenses, would be made later in the day to safeguard Ukrainians from further Russian terror.\n\nThe weapon used in the attack has not been confirmed, but videos on social media indicate that at least one drone was involved following the initial explosion. Pavlohrad, located approximately 75 kilometers (45 miles) from the front line, once served as a relatively secure refuge for those fleeing the ongoing conflict to the east. However, the situation has rapidly deteriorated in recent months. On July 20, the city was hit by its first glide bomb (KAB). These KABs, while having a shorter range than missiles, are less expensive to manufacture and can carry warheads up to 1,500 kilograms, capable of demolishing an entire apartment building.\n\nOn September 10, Russian forces targeted a shopping and entertainment center in Sumy for the second time within a span of less than 24 hours. Less than a day prior, the same mall had been struck, resulting in two deaths and 23 injuries, including three children, as reported by local authorities. These recent attacks coincide with Russia's escalation of assaults on Ukrainian supermarkets and shopping centers, even during daytime hours when stores are filled with civilians.",
