Driver killed, 2 journalists injured in eastern Ukraine
Two Reuters journalists were injured and their driver killed in an attack in eastern Ukraine Friday, Reuters said.
Photographer Alexander Ermochenko and cameraman Pavel Klimov were traveling into Sievierodonetsk when they came under fire on a Russian-held part of the road, according to Reuters. Klimov was treated for an arm fracture and Ermochenko for a small shrapnel wound at a nearby hospital.
Their driver, who has not been identified, had been assigned to Reuters by Russia-backed forces.
"Reuters extends its deepest sympathies to the family of the driver for their loss," a Reuters spokesperson said in a statement.
