Good evening. There are any number of developments to report tonight all to do with the war and

we'll bring them to you over the next two hours. We begin though with all this war entails

to take. The victims, in this case, were a mother, her teenage son and young daughter, along

with a family friend. That is them lying dead on the ground. Ukrainian medics trying to aid

them. The mother and children were killed by the blast. The friend was badly wounded and that's
