Ukraine-Russia war latest: National Academy of Sciences on fire after fresh daytime strikes hit Kyiv

A woman was killed in the strike on several buildings in downtown Kyiv

What the coverage shows

All three outlets center the Russian drone strike on the National Academy of Sciences in Kyiv, but they frame it differently. Al Jazeera and The Independent foreground casualties, with Al Jazeera saying one person was killed and The Independent saying a woman was killed in strikes on several buildings downtown. Channel 4 News is alone in focusing on dramatic rescue footage from the burning building and the safe recovery of two people.
