Russian drone kills two Ukrainian journalists on Donetsk eastern front line

Two Ukrainian journalists, Olena Gramova and Yevgen Karmazin, were killed by a Russian drone in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk on Thursday. The drone strike occurred at a petrol station where the journalists were parked in their car. Another reporter, Alexander Kolychev, was wounded in the attack. The Donetsk regional governor announced the details of the strike and posted images showing the charred remains of the journalists' car. This incident is part of a growing trend of journalists being killed while reporting from conflict zones, with at least 23 media workers reported dead on both sides of the front line since the war began in 2022. The use of cheap and deadly drones has made reporting from the front lines increasingly dangerous for journalists.
