An Irish cameraman for Fox News television and his Ukrainian producer have been killed in Ukraine outside Kyiv, Fox News and Ukrainian media said March 15.

Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski was killed and correspondent Benjamin Hall was wounded when their vehicle was struck on March 14 by incoming fire in Horenka, outside the capital, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said.

Hall, the network's State Department correspondent, remains hospitalized in Ukraine, Scott said in a statement.

The Fox team's Ukrainian producer, Oleksandra Kuvshynova, was killed in the same incident, according to local media outlet the Kyiv Independent.

On March 13, a U.S. journalist was shot dead and another wounded in the Kyiv suburb of Irpin, which has witnessed some of the fiercest fighting since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.

Video documentary maker Brent Renaud, 50, was working for Time Studios on a project about global refugee issues.

The International Federation of Journalists identified the wounded journalist as American photographer Juan Arredondo.

A Ukrainian who had been in the same car as the Americans was also wounded, according to a medic at the scene.

Lyudmyla Denisova, the Ukrainian parliament's human rights chief, said on Telegram that at least two other Ukrainian journalists have also been killed.

Yevhen Sakun was killed in a Russian missile attack on a Kyiv television tower while Viktor Dudar died in fighting close to the southern port city of Mykolayiv, Denisova said.
