A news correspondent for Channel One, Anna Prokofieva, died while on assignment in Belgorod Region
Anna Prokofieva, war correspondent for Russia's Channel One, was killed on Wednesday while on assignment in Belgorod Region, which borders Ukraine. The broadcaster confirmed her death and said that cameraman Dmitry Volkov had also been injured during the incident.
Prokofieva was reportedly working in the village of Demidovka, an area near active fighting. According to early reports, the 35-year-old journalist was killed either by a drone strike or a fatal shrapnel wound, although accounts of the incident differ.
Earlier this week, three members of news crews were killed in Ukrainian attacks in the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) and in Kursk Region.
