Ground Report | New Delhi: Who was Journalist Brent Renaud; American journalist Brent Renaud was shot to death and another was wounded on Sunday in Irpin, a northwestern suburb of Kyiv where Ukrainian forces are fighting the Russian military, concordant sources told AFP.
The two men were hit by bullets while driving in a car with a Ukrainian civilian, who was also injured, Danylo Shapovalov, a volunteer doctor from Ukraine's territorial defence who treated the victims, told AFP.
Ukrainian authorities were quick to accuse Russian forces of shooting the journalists, but it is not immediately clear where the shots came from.
An AFP journalist saw the body of the victim, who was carrying his identity documents, including a New York Times accreditation.
