Fox News' Pierre Zakrzewski killed, reporter wounded in Ukraine
Veteran Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski has died after his vehicle was struck by incoming fire in Horenka, outside Kyiv on Monday.
That's according to Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott, who broke the news Tuesday.
Fox News journalist Benjamin Hall was with Zakrzewski while newsgathering and was also injured. Hall remains hospitalized, Scott said.
"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," the report says. "His passion and talent as a journalist were unmatched. Based in London, Pierre had been working in Ukraine since February."
As Ukrinform reported earlier, Fox News reporter John Roberts said on Monday that the channel's journalist was injured outside Kyiv while covering Russian aggression against Ukraine.
The day before, in Irpin near Ukraine's capital, Russian soldiers shot dead Time journalist Brent Renauld. He was killed on the spot after being shot in the head. Another journalist, Juan Diego Arredondo, was wounded and evacuated to Okhmatdyt Hospital in Kyiv.
