  "account": "Overnight Russian drone strikes hit houses, schools, warehouses, and an office building in the Kyiv region between Friday and Saturday. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported at 10 a.m. Saturday that at least five people were injured by Russia's aerial assaults on the capital. At 8 a.m., Klitschko announced a fire near a warehouse in the Darnytskyi district, while debris from a drone struck a residential building in the Obolonskyi district without causing casualties. In the Svyatoshynskyi district, a drone flew into a shopping mall, likely the French-owned Auchan supermarket at Kyiv’s Lavina Mall, which remained operational on Saturday morning, according to a Facebook update. Klitschko also noted rescuers extinguishing fires after Russian drones struck office buildings and a residential building in the Solomyanskyi district, with rescue efforts ongoing at another five-story residential building. The Ukrainian State Emergency Service and National Police confirmed damage across multiple districts in the Kyiv region, with at least two people injured. Russia has shifted its drone tactics, moving away from large swarms to continuous launches against Ukrainian cities since late August. Meanwhile, Kyiv has implemented a two-tier siren system to maintain operations amid frequent drone alerts, despite a decrease in drone volume and an increase in jet-powered drones, which can reach speeds of 400-600 kilometers per hour. Ukrainian officials expect to accelerate the production of air defense systems to counter the new threat, with Kyiv unveiling new jet-powered interceptors recently.",
  "summary": "Authorities said at least five people were injured in Kyiv and two in the surrounding region after an overnight Russian attack that also damaged houses, warehouses and a school. Russia has launched more jet-powered drones in its recent attacks, with Kyiv hinting at plans to accelerate production of interceptors that can hunt them down.",
