Russian reporter killed in Kyiv shelling is fourth journalist to die in conflict

A Russian reporter has died after coming under Russian shelling while she filmed destruction at a shopping centre in Kyiv, becoming at least the fourth journalist to die since the conflict began almost a month ago.

Two other people in the group were wounded in the attack which took place in the Podolsky district of Kyiv, the outlet reported.

After Russia invaded Ukraine a month ago, Baulina filed several reports from Kyiv and Lviv in western Ukraine for the Insider.

At least three other reporters have been killed during the conflict: Brent Renaud, an American film-maker, Irish cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian producer Oleksandra Kuvshynova. Television news crews have described being shot at even when they have identified themselves as journalists, prompting speculation that they were targeted on purpose.

A cameraman for a local television station in the besieged southern city of Mariupol was reported to have been killed earlier on Wednesday.
