This is the terrifying moment a BBC team was forced to flee when they were attacked by Russian missiles while reporting on aid workers in Ukraine.
Shocking footage shows reporter Victoria Zhuhan kneeling near a wall with a man protecting her as a missile explodes nearby in the southern Ukrainian village of Mylove.
Frightened residents and aid volunteers began to run as the first missile hit with a loud bang.
Screams of fear accompanied the impact of the second missile, which landed even closer to the BBC crew of Ms Zhuhan, producer Claire Press and cameraman Kevin McGregor.
They jumped to their feet when a man yelled ‘go that way’ before running towards a black car. Two of them entered, but the man yelled again saying: ‘Move to that side. Listen to me, move that way.

Fearful screams accompanied the impact of the second missile, which landed even closer to the BBC crew of Ms Zhuhan, producer Claire Press and cameraman Kevin McGregor, who all jumped to their feet as a man yelled: ‘Go! that way’.
Another man, probably Mr. McGregor, who was filming the attack, replied, “I’ll ride this one here,” as he ran to the second car.
He’d run past residents carrying their newly delivered supplies, while someone behind him said, ‘Behind you, mate. Keep going.’
As she jumped into the car, she told the driver ‘I’m fine’, before a female voice over the radio said: ‘Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead’.
Volunteer Kostiantyn Tytarenko, who filmed the aid delivery, revealed in a video: ‘We are leaving Mylove. There was an artillery attack just now. It was so strong. I have never heard anything like it.
The team followed a group of volunteers who delivered aid packages to people in “difficult occupation” areas, who were experiencing “so much misery.”
It was first responders arriving in the small town in three weeks and people were visibly desperate to get their hands on much-needed supplies.
No one was killed in the attacks according to Ukrainian authorities.
