There is a "high probability" that bones found recently in Russia belonged to a daughter and son of the last czar, an official has said.

The bones were found by archaeologists in a burned field near Yekaterinburg, a city in the Ural Mountains where Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and their five children were held prisoner by the Bolsheviks and then shot in 1918.

The discovery was announced in August.
