Two Russian TV journalists killed in Ukraine

Two Russian state TV journalists have been killed in a mortar attack in east Ukraine, according to Russian news agencies.

Sound engineer Anton Voloshin was killed at the scene - the village of Metalist village outside the city of Luhansk - while a reporter, Igor Kornelyuk, died in hospital during surgery. A third member of the crew survived.

Rossiya 24 channel announced earlier in the day that an employee had been wounded in mortar fire while on assignment and was in a serious condition.

The crew were thought to have been filming Ukrainian refugees fleeing the area, which has been overrun by pro-Russian insurgents.
