In Kyiv, the aftermath of drone attacks is captured with stark clarity, showing damaged buildings and emergency responders at work. The attacks, part of ongoing hostilities, have left residents on edge and infrastructure strained.

Meanwhile, a lighter moment is found in a series of photographs documenting swallow nestlings.
