A reporter who had previously worked with the New York Times was killed when Russian troops opened fire on a vehicle carrying foreign journalists who had been trying to film refugees.

Kyiv Police Chief Andriy Nebytov wrote in a Facebook post Sunday morning that 51-year-old Brent Renaud had been shot and killed, while “another journalist,” documentary photojournalist Juan Arredondo, was left injured, adding that they were trying to remove the victim from the war zone. The incident had taken place in the city of Irpin, Nebytov confirmed in his post.
