Oleksandra Kuvshinova, also known as Sasha, who was working with the Fox News team, was also killed in the attack, senior field producer Yonat Friling said. She was 24.

"We have lost a beautiful brave woman," Ms. Friling said. "She loved music and she was funny and kind."

Prior, an American journalist was killed and another wounded by Russian forces in Irpen near the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, the Kyiv Region Police head said Sunday.

The killed journalist was identified by Ukrainian police as Brent Renaud, a 51-year-old journalist, filmmaker and US citizen. While Ukrainian authorities initially identified Renaud as a The New York Times correspondent, he was not in Ukraine reporting on behalf of The Times.
