Journalist killed in attack on humanitarian convoy in Ukraine
Journalist Frédéric Leclerc-Imhoff was killed in Ukraine while traveling in a humanitarian convoy, French news broadcaster BFM TV announced Monday.
BFM TV said in a statement Leclerc-Imhoff, 32, was fatally hit by shrapnel as he was "covering a humanitarian operation in an armored vehicle" near Sievierodonetsk, a city which has emerged as the epicenter of Russia's quest to capture all of Ukraine's Donbas region.
"He was accompanied by his colleague Maxime Brandstaetter, who was slightly wounded in this strike, and their "fixer" Oksana Leuta, who was not hit," BFM TV said. Leclerc-Imhoff worked at the broadcaster for six years and was on his second trip to Ukraine since the start of the war in the country.
"This tragic event reminds us of the dangers faced by all journalists who have been risking their lives to report on this conflict for over three months now," BFM TV said.
