ALBAWABA - A Russian drone killed two Ukrainian journalists who work for Ukraine's "Freedom TV" in Kramatorsk city, their news outlet told AFP on Thursday.

Freedom TV, a state-funded news organisation, revealed that initial reports of the attack were detailed by the Donetsk regional governor.

Donetsk regional governor shared images of the journalists' car, which was targeted in the Russian attack, leading to their deaths.

Earlier this week, Ukrainian media reported that a Russian airstrike targeted Kharkiv on Oct. 22, directly hitting a kindergarten hosting 48 children.

Kyiv Independent outlined that a Russian attack damaged a kindergarten and left one person dead and 10 others injured in the city.
