  "account": "Ukrainian drones managed to strike Russian gas facilities located more than 2,000 miles away in the Russian Arctic, marking a record for the war, according to Ukrainian special forces. The attacks targeted two gas plants in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, a region in the Russian Arctic. One of the plants is in Novy Urengoy, a gas-producing city, and the other is located about 60 miles south in the Purovsky district. The Russian governor of the attacked region, Dmitry Artyukhov, reported that a fire had been started at one of the facilities. However, he added that there were no fatalities or injuries. Fire Point, a Ukrainian drone manufacturer, confirmed that its FP-1 fixed-wing drones were involved in the strike on Novy Urengoy. The FP-1 drones covered a distance of over 3,200 kilometers, setting a new record for the range of destruction. The drone manufacturer typically cites the FP-1's range as 2,600 kilometers, but an improved, jet-launched version of the drone can travel up to 2,110 miles.",
  "summary": "The strikes in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug are the war's longest-range drone attacks carried out by Ukraine since the war began.",
