BBC News

'Heroes of Kharkiv': How 48 children were saved from kindergarten hit by Russian drone

BBC News

'Heroes of Kharkiv': How 48 children were saved from kindergarten hit by Russian drone Although moving forward, Oleksandr Volobuev's body is angled slightly away from the camera, as if bracing against the deadly air still swirling with falling debris and smoke. His face in careful concentration, the Major-General from Ukraine's Civil Protection Service clings tightly to a precious bundle, wrapped for protection in his coat - and out of which two small pink shoes protrude. It is a striking image of a dramatic rescue from a nursery school in the eastern city of Kharkiv, following a devastating, direct hit by a Russian drone. Unsurprisingly it has gone viral, capturing both the Ukrainian and the wider global public's imagination. With 48 children trapped in a shelter in the burning building, it was not the only act of bravery that day, not by a long way.

When you think of ancient Egypt, you might imagine towering pyramids, majestic temples, and the noseless Great Sphinx of Giza. But the iconic civilization produced many more architectural marvels than the monuments it's best known for today, and one such example has just come to light in the sands of the Sinai. Archaeologists working in the northern region of Sinai--the Egyptian peninsula bordering Israel--have discovered a military fort from ancient Egypt's New Kingdom era (1550-1077 BCE) along the Horus Military Road.
