A crew from the Swedish television station TV4 was attacked by a Russian drone in the frontline area in southeastern Ukraine. TV4 reporter Johan Fredriksson and photographer Daniel Zdolsek emerged unharmed from yesterday’s incident, the broadcaster said on its website.
However, the local producer and two Ukrainian police officers who escorted the journalists were slightly injured. His car and photographic equipment were completely destroyed.
The local police’s actions likely saved lives, the station wrote. “This time we were lucky. The Russian drone-launched missile we heard hit our car right in the trunk. Fortunately there was no one in the car,” said Fredriksson.
