"Proliferation of cheap and deadly drones used by both sides makes reporting from front line increasingly dangerous. A Russian drone has killed two Ukrainian journalists and wounded another in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, according to their outlet and the regional governor of the Donetsk region. Freedom Media, a state-funded news organisation, said on Thursday that Olena Gramova, 43, and Yevgen Karmazin, 33, had been killed by a Russian Lancet drone while in their car at a petrol station in the industrial city."
"The Donetsk regional governor earlier announced details of the strike and posted images showing the charred remains of the journalists' car, according to the AFP news agency. Freedom Media said that Gramova, a native of Yenakiieve in the Donetsk region, had originally trained as a finance specialist, but turned to journalism in 2014, the year when Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, and started arming a separatist movement in Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbas."
