According to official information from Moscow, a Russian military correspondent has been killed in the battle zone in southern Ukraine. Other journalists were injured.
“Four journalists suffered injuries of varying severity as a result of cluster munitions fired by the Ukrainian armed forces,” Russia’s defense ministry said on Saturday. The correspondent of the state news agency RIA Novosti, Rostislav Zhuravlyov, succumbed to his injuries on the way to the field hospital. The Russian agency RIA Novosti confirmed his death.
A photo correspondent of RIA Novosti and two employees of the Kremlin-affiliated daily Izvestia were also hit. The group is said to have come under fire in the Pyatychatky area south of Zaporizhia. The injured media representatives were taken to the Ukrainian city of Melitopol, which was under the control of Russian occupation forces.
Fierce battles rage
Ukrainian forces have reported the village of Pyatychatky as liberated as part of their counter-offensive, which has been underway since June. However, fierce fighting is still going on in the room. Kiev troops have been trying for weeks to break through the heavily fortified Russian defense lines on the southern front here and at two other locations in the Zaporizhia region.
