Hromadske journalist Ksenia Savoskina and cameraman Oleksiy Nikulin were targeted by Russian drones while filming a news story near Kupyansk on November 25, reports Hromadske.
The journalists were filming the evacuation of animals from the left bank together with the Kharkiv Animal Rescue initiative. The two-car group was accompanied by a soldier, who noticed the horses that were about to be evacuated.
When the journalists started filming the evacuation, they heard drone sounds. The crew hid in a hangar. A few minutes later, an explosion went off. The car where the journalists had left a backpack with lenses caught fire.
Seeing as one of the cars burned down, the journalists had to go back on foot through the village. Ksenia says they walked three kilometers, or maybe a little more. They had to hide from the drones several times.
The journalists were not injured. The horses were successfully evacuated to Kharkiv.
