This week in pictures: volcano eruption, continuous heatwave and wildfires in Europe

This week Iceland witnessed a massive volcano eruption, Spain continued battling its wildfires while Europe suffered from another heatwave, and residential areas were once again hit in different parts of Ukraine amid the Russian invasion of the country.

This is how these and other stories this week were captured by photojournalists around the world.
