A filming crew with the Donbas Realii project (Radio Liberty) came under fire on October 10 while filming the soldiers in Donetsk oblast near Bakhmut, reports the news outlet.
Correspondent Roman Pahulych and cameraman Pavlo Kholodov were filming the work of FPV operators when the Russian troops targeted the Ukrainian positions with barrel artillery.
The first shell fell next to the war reporter Roman Pahulych and the soldiers he was talking to. Roman Pahulych suffered a contusion (aquabarotrauma), two soldiers received minor injuries; the debris did not hit the cameraman Pavel Kholodov. All the victims were taken to a stabilization point and given first aid.
As Roman Pahulych said, the ballistic protection of the neck area on his body armor stopped one of the projectile fragments.
Currently, there is no threat to the lives of the injured soldiers and crew members.
