A cameraman working for Fox News has been killed in an attack outside Kyiv.
Tragic news about the death of Irish citizen Pierre Zakrzewski was announced on Twitter this afternoon and later confirmed by the US network.
Zakrzewski was killed in the same attack that reportedly also ended the life of Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova and wounded British Fox journalist Benjamin Hall.
Mr Hall is still in serious condition and fighting for his life in intensive care.
The death of Oleksandra Kuvshynova was announced by Anton Gerashchenko, an advisor to the Ukrainian Interior Minister who blamed artillery shelling by Vladimir Putin's forces.
Friends and colleagues paid tribute to Zakrzewski - who was described as an "Unsung Hero" and "absolute treasure" - and shared "heartfelt prayers" to his wife and family.

Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott emailed a memo to staffers at the network after his death.
It read: “Pierre was a war zone photographer who covered nearly every international story for Fox News from Iraq to Afghanistan to Syria during his long tenure with us."
She added that Zakrzewski had been shooting on location in Ukraine since February and was usually based out of London.
The statement said: “It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we share the news this morning regarding our beloved cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski. Pierre was killed in Horenka, outside of Kyiv, Ukraine.
“Pierre was with Benjamin Hall yesterday newsgathering when their vehicle was struck by incoming fire.

“His passion and talent as a journalist were unmatched. Based in London, Pierre had been working in Ukraine since February.”
The CEO said Zakrzewski was key in getting Afghan freelancers and their families out of the country when the Taliban captured power.
At the publication's annual employee Spotlight Awards, he was recognised as their "Unsung Hero".
Scott added: "Today is a heartbreaking day for Fox News Media and for all journalists risking their lives to deliver the news."
Irish premier Micheal Martin also paid tribute to the London-based Irish citizen on Tuesday.
In a tweet, Mr Martin said: "Deeply disturbed and saddened by the killing of Irish citizen and journalist Pierre Zakrzewski and one of his colleagues today.
"My thoughts are with their families, friends and fellow journalists.
"We condemn this indiscriminate and immoral war by Russia on Ukraine."
Fox Anchorman John Roberts shared the "horrible" news on Twitter earlier this afternoon.
He wrote: "Horrible news to report: Fox cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski was killed in the same attack that wounded correspondent Benjamin Hall. I worked with Pierre many times around the world.
"He was an absolute treasure. Sending our most heartfelt prayers to Pierre's wife and family."
The attack also left "brilliant and brave" British journalist Hall in critical condition, a top official said earlier today.
The foreign affairs correspondent was not in a military facility when he suffered "serious injuries".
The circumstances have not yet been established.
It comes a day after American journalist Brent Renaud died after reportedly being shot by Russian forces.
In a statement, Fox News confirmed that father-of-three Mr Hall had been injured, but did not comment on the severity.
The network said: "Earlier today our correspondent Benjamin Hall was injured while newsgathering outside of Kyiv in Ukraine.
"We have a minimal level of details right now, but Ben is hospitalised and our teams on the ground are working to gather additional information as the situation quickly unfolds.”
Host Kayleigh McEnany posted on Twitter: "Please say a prayer for @BenjaminHallFNC, our brilliant and brave @FoxNews reporter, who was injured in Ukraine.."
Correspondent Garret Tenney wrote: "My heart breaks for @BenjaminHallFNC, his wife, and their three young kids.
"Praying for him, them, and the rest of our teams in Ukraine."
Ukraine's prosecutor general, Irina Venediktova, said that a British journalist was in “intensive care under the supervision of doctors”.
She posted on Facebook: “This man was not at a military facility, where according to Russian officials, they are constantly targeting.
"Not being at a military facility, he suffered serious injuries."
Fox News said: “The safety of our entire team of journalists in Ukraine and the surrounding region is our top priority and of the utmost importance.
"This is a stark reminder for all journalists who are putting their lives on the line every day to deliver the news from a war zone."
Earlier today Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky paid tribute to award-winning video journalist Brent Renaud, who died yesterday.
He wrote: "I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Brent Renaud who lost his life while documenting the ruthlessness and evil inflicted upon Ukrainian people by Russia.
"May Brent’s life & sacrifice inspire the world to stand up in the fight for the forces of light against forces of darkness."
It was reported on Sunday that Mr Renaud, an acclaimed US filmmaker, was killed after Russian forces opened fire on his vehicle near the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
