Authorities in Ukraine's Donetsk region say a British citizen was found dead under the rubble on August 25, a day after a missile hit Hotel Sapfir in the eastern city of Kramatorsk. Six other people were wounded, among them several Reuters staffers. A Russian missile struck the hotel before midnight on August 24, Ukraine's Independence Day, according to local authorities. As a major Ukrainian-controlled city in the Donetsk region, Kramatorsk serves as a base for international reporters and volunteers.
