  "account": "On September 23, a Russian drone strike targeted Kyiv's iconic Shaiba market, reducing the modernist landmark to ashes. The attack, part of a broader assault across the capital, also damaged structures in the Darnytskyi and Holosiyivskyi districts. The Shaiba, originally constructed in 1973 as a covered retail complex, was celebrated for its distinctive circular design and unique name, derived from the Ukrainian word for \"puck.\" Designed by architects Alla Anishchenko and Nataliia Chmutina, the building featured a concrete outer shell with radial support elements. It had once housed various stores and, in the late 1980s, an Okean store. Following a 1990s stint as the Kyiv Universal Exchange, it became Velyka Kyshenia supermarket in the 2000s before closing in 2021. Despite its historical significance, the building was not granted protected status, leading to its demolition in 2024 after public outcry. The attack also struck gas stations in the Darnytskyi and Holosiyivskyi districts and affected multiple civilian structures.",
  "summary": "A Russian jet-powered strike drone hit Kyiv’s former Zaliznychnyi Market, known locally as the Shaiba, on the morning of Sept. 23, setting the landmark building on fire and burning it out completely.",
