A group of Russian journalists has been attacked by a Ukrainian drone in Zaporozhye Region, the Russian military has reported. Boris Maksudov, a reporter with Rossiya-24 TV channel, was wounded in the attack, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
The reporter received non-life-threatening injuries and was promptly evacuated from the scene, receiving all necessary medical treatment. The military did not provide any details on where exactly the attack took place, or how close the reporters were to the front line.
The journalists were working on a report about villages in Zaporozhye Region that are routinely subjected to artillery shelling by Ukrainian forces, the Russian military revealed.
Dmitry Kiselyov, the head of the Rossiya Segodnya media group, which includes RIA Novosti and Sputnik, condemned the attack, suggesting it was a deliberate action by the Ukrainian forces.
“This is revenge on journalists out of impotence. How else can one explain deliberate fire on journalists?” Kiselyov stated, as quoted by RIA.
