A major ground, air and sea search continues for a second day this morning for a three-year-old boy who has been missing from his home for around 24 hours.
Neighbours and emergency services searched through the night for Mikaeel Kular, who disappeared as his family slept in Edinburgh.
The child's mother put him to bed at around 9pm on Wednesday, only to find his room empty on Thursday morning.
A police helicopter, sniffer dogs, coastguard and lifeboat teams have been searching the area surrounding the flat he shares with four siblings in Ferry Gait Crescent.
Mikaeel went missing overnight on Wednesday Forensic teams are examining a second address in a block of flats near his home.
Officers have also urged neighbours to check gardens, sheds, parks and lock-ups to find the missing boy.
The temperature in Edinburgh overnight dropped to around 3C.
Police Scotland has activated the Child Rescue Alert system, which is usually reserved for abduction and kidnap cases and supported by all police forces across the UK.
A major search operation is now into its second day The search remains focused around the Drylaw, Pennywell, Muirhouse and Silverknowes areas of Edinburgh.
Superintendent Liz McAinsh said: "Our inquiries to trace Mikaeel have been ongoing for over 12 hours now and so far, we have still to receive that vital piece of information that will lead to his discovery."
Mikaeel, who has two sisters and two brothers, was discovered missing from his bed by his mother at around 7.15am on Thursday.
He usually sleeps in the same room as his twin sister but was alone on Wednesday night.
