A French journalist has been killed after an armoured evacuation vehicle in which he was travelling was hit by shrapnel from a Russian shell in the city of Sievierodonetsk in eastern Ukraine, local authorities have said.
“Today our armoured evacuation vehicle was going to collect 10 people from the area and ended up under enemy fire,” Luhansk’s regional governor, Serhiy Gaidai, said on Telegram. “Shrapnel from the grenades pierced the armour of the car, a fatal wound in the neck was received by an accredited French journalist who was making a report on the evacuation, a policeman on patrol was saved by a helmet.”
