Russia launched an air attack on Kyiv early Thursday, killing at least three people including two children and bringing fresh terror to the city after a week of strikes. IMAGES
Emergency services are on scene after several explosions rocked Ukraine's capital overnight. One of the missiles hit the Sviatoshynskyi district of Kyiv, setting multiple cars on fire. Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said two people were injured and 15 percent of households were without power and 40 percent without heating following the explosions. IMAGES
A pedestrian bridge with glass panels known as the "Klitschko bridge" in central Kyiv shows damage, but remains standing, following several Russian strikes on Ukraine's capital. The bridge was opened in 2019, and is named after the city's mayor, Vitaly Klitschko. IMAGES
Images show people standing amidst the rubble of a house that was destroyed by a Russian air strike that killed seven people, four of them children, in the Jisr al-Shughur countryside of northern Syria. Russia, which did not comment immediately on the raid, is a main backer of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. With Russian and Iranian support, Damascus clawed back much of the ground lost in the early stages of Syria's conflict, which erupted in 2011 when the government brutally repressed pro-democracy protests. The last pocket of armed opposition to the regime includes large swathes of Idlib province and parts of the neighbouring Aleppo, Hama and Latakia provinces. IMAGES
