Two Ukrainian journalists lost their lives in the eastern city of Kramatorsk after a Russian drone strike. This tragic event was condemned by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and described as a war crime by Ukraine's human rights ombudsman.

The journalists, identified as Olena Hubanova and Yevhen Karmazin from Ukraine's Freedom television channel, were in a car at a petrol station when they were hit by a Lancet drone. The attack, often used on armored vehicles, stands out as a stark example of targeting civilians.

Human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets labeled the incident as evidence of systemic war crimes, opening a formal investigation. President Zelenskiy highlighted that 135 media personnel have been killed in the war, attributing these actions to deliberate strategies by Russia.
