Russian journalist killed in drone attack in Ukraine: media

The attack was said to have taken place near the Saint-Nicolas Monastery near the town of Vugledar, where heavy fighting had taken place over the past three months.

On Thursday, a Russian state television journalist was killed and another injured in a Ukrainian drone strike in Golmivsky, a Russian-controlled village near the front line in the Donetsk region.

The Russian Foreign Ministry accused Ukraine of deliberately targeting the journalists.

President Vladimir Putin said earlier this month that “at least 30” Russian journalists had been killed since the conflict in Ukraine began. AFP could not confirm this claim.
