A Russian journalist was killed in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, after Russian troops shelled a residential neighbourhood where she was filming the damage from an earlier attack.
Oksana Baulina “died during a bombardment while carrying out an editorial assignment” in Kyiv’s Podil district, media reports said.
The Russian investigative website, whose editorial offices are based in Latvia, said another civilian also died in the shelling.
Two other people who were with the Russian journalist were also wounded and admitted to hospital, it said.
The Insider said that Baulina had worked for the Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation until the organisation was designated “extremist” by the Russian authorities.
That prompted her to leave the country and continue reporting on corruption in Russia for The Insider, the news outlet said.
After Russia invaded Ukraine a month ago, Baulina filed several reports from Kyiv and Lviv in western Ukraine.
“The Insider expresses its deepest condolences to Oksana’s family and friends,” it said, adding that it will continue to cover the war in Ukraine, “including such Russian war crimes as indiscriminate shelling of residential areas killing civilians and journalists”.
