Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski has been killed while reporting outside Kyiv, the US network says.
Zakrzewski was killed and his colleague, Benjamin Hall, was injured when their vehicle was struck by incoming fire yesterday in Horenka, around 20km north-west of the capital, says Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott.
“Pierre was a war-zone photographer who covered nearly every international story for Fox News from Iraq to Afghanistan to Syria during his long tenure with us,” she says. “His passion and talent as a journalist were unmatched.”
Hall, a 39-year-old British correspondent, is still being treated in hospital following the incident.
It follows the death of Brent Renaud, an American filmmaker, on Sunday.
Zakrzewski’s former colleagues have been paying tribute to him on Twitter. “I don’t know what to say. Pierre was as good as they come,” correspondent Trey Yingst writes.
