Satellite images of the "catastrophic" attacks on two towns in Nigeria by Boko Haram militants have been released by Amnesty International.
The campaign group says the pictures, taken on 2 and 7 January, provide "indisputable and shocking evidence" of the scale of the assaults on Baga and neighbouring Doron Baga.
It believes hundreds of people were killed and that over 3,700 structures were either damaged or destroyed in the attacks.
Other nearby towns and villages in north-eastern Borno state were also targeted by the Islamists between 3 and 7 January.
"These detailed images show devastation of catastrophic proportions in two towns, one of which was almost wiped off the map in the space of four days," said Daniel Eyre, Nigeria researcher for Amnesty.
