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

Ukraine said on Tuesday that it had downed an entire barrage of Russian drones and missiles, including six hypersonic missiles, just hours ahead of a visit by a Chinese special envoy. Posting on Twitter, Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said "another unbelievable success for the Ukrainian Air Forces! Last night, our sky defenders shot down SIX russian hypersonic Kinzhal missiles and 12 other missiles". The statement comes just over a week after Ukraine said it had downed its first Kinzhal hypersonic missile. IMAGES
Mourners gather in the city of Samara, central Russia, to lay flowers in memory of more than 60 Russian soldiers that Russia says were killed in a Ukrainian strike on Russian-controlled territory. The strike, in the occupied city of Makiivka, is the biggest loss of life reported by Moscow so far. IMAGES
Russia denies targeting Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, and instead accuses "missiles from foreign and Ukrainian air defence systems located in residential areas of the Ukrainian capital" of causing the damage. Critical energy infrastructure was hit in the capital yesterday and at least three people were killed. SOUNDBITE
