The New York Times homepage on Sunday featured a photograph of a family of four in Ukraine that was killed during a Russian attack on civilians.

The image, taken by photojournalist Lynsey Addario, shows Ukrainian soldiers attempting to rescue a father, mother, and their two children, after the family was hit by mortar shells fired by Russian forces on Sunday in Irpin, near Kiev

According to the image caption, the family had been trying to flee from Irpin amid Russian attacks. At the time the image was taken, only one of the four still had a pulse.

Guardian news editor Joanna Walters called the front page decision “brave,” and noted that it is “always an agonised debate, how to depict war, how to get the balance right.”
