RIA Novosti\u2019s Ivan Zuyev was slain while reporting from the front line<\/p>\n
Russian war correspondent Ivan Zuyev has been killed in a Ukrainian drone attack, his employer, RIA Novosti, announced on Thursday. Another journalist, Yury Voytkevich, was wounded and is in stable condition.
\nThe incident occurred in Russia\u2019s Zaporozhye Region, north of Crimea, parts of which are held by Ukrainian forces, RIA said.
\nDmitry Kiselev, the head of RIA\u2019s parent company, Rossiya Segodnya, described Zuyev as a brave journalist who died in the line of duty. \u201cHe did a lot to report the truth from the warzone,\u201d he said.\u00a0
\nMoscow condemned the attack. \u201cJournalists have long been targets of Kiev\u2019s terrorism,\u201d Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
\nZuyev is the third RIA journalist to die during the conflict. In July 2023, a Ukrainian missile strike killed reporter Rostislav Zhuravlev and wounded three other correspondents. In August 2014, photojournalist Andrey Stenin was killed by Ukrainian forces while covering the insurgency in Donbass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
