Two journalists have been killed near Donetsk airport in eastern Ukraine, as a shell hit the car they were travelling in, officials from the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) have said.
"A car carrying two local journalists was destroyed by an anti-tank missile. It is not possible to recover the bodies at the moment due to heavy fire coming from the Ukrainian side. Currently we're trying to determine what news outlet the slain journalists were working for," a DNR militia source told the Sputnik news agency.
Another source, also a DPR representative, told the Donetsk News Agency that the two journalists died near the town of Peski, in the Donetsk region late on Sunday. The source also said the journalists were killed by a shell that hit their car and presumed the attack was carried out by the Ukrainian military.
