Russian Journalist Killed in Drone Strike in Occupied Eastern Ukraine

Alexander Martemyanov, a freelance correspondent for Izvestia, died after a reported Ukrainian drone attack on a civilian car in Donetsk region, with several others injured.

Alexander Martemyanov, a journalist for the Russian outlet Izvestia, was killed in a drone strike on a highway between Donetsk and Horlivka in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine.
The attack reportedly involved a Ukrainian 'kamikaze' drone targeting a civilian vehicle carrying Martemyanov and other media personnel.
Four other media workers, including two journalists from RIA Novosti, were injured in the incident, sustaining shrapnel wounds and concussions.
The Russian government has condemned the attack, labeling it a 'deliberate murder,' and plans to raise the issue at the United Nations Security Council.
At least 15 journalists have been killed while covering the conflict in Ukraine since Russia's invasion began in February 2022, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
