Russian drone targets car carrying journalist and soldiers in Kharkiv Oblast – photos, video
A Russian Molniya UAV has hit a car carrying a Ukrainian Witness journalist and soldiers. They were 20 km from the contact line on their way to film the work of a Giatsint-B gun crew in Kharkiv Oblast. Source: Ukrainian Witness Quote: "Oleksa Zhovtyi, a Ukrainian Witness journalist, was travelling with the military in Kharkiv Oblast to film the firing position of a mounted Giatsint-B gun of the 15th Operational Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine. On the way, when they were 20 km from the line of contact, their Nissan Navara pickup truck was hit by an enemy Molniya UAV, an aircraft-type strike drone, which is referred to by the operator as an FPV." Details: As a result of the UAV attack, two soldiers were lightly injured, and the vehicle is out of commission. It is noted that the drone hit the vehicle, so the explosion felt like a mine explosion. The soldiers and the journalist immediately left the pickup and took cover in a nearby building to call for an evacuation and examine their injuries. Ihor Lavrov, the brigade's press officer, was more seriously injured. A car quickly followed the group and took the wounded and the journalist to the nearest village, where it was supposed to be safer to wait for medical evacuation. The damaged pickup truck is being repaired by the military at their own repair centre. Background: On 17 January 2025, a Russian drone attacked a car with Ukrainian Witness journalist Marharyta Potapova and cameraman Oleksandr Davydenko on the Zaporizhzhia front.
