- 2:13Reuters safety adviser killed in Ukraine's KramatorskReuters VideosSTORY: Ryan Evans, a member of the Reuters team covering the war in Ukraine, was killed and two journalists were injured in a strike on a hotel in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk. In a statement, Reuters said Evans was killed after a missile struck the Hotel Sapphire where he was staying as part of a six-person team on Saturday. Two Reuters journalists were being treated in hospital. One of them was seriously injured. The news agency said it was urgently seeking more information about the attack and working with authorities in Kramatorsk. The three other members of the team who were in the hotel at the time of the strike were accounted for and safe, the agency said. Evans, a former British soldier, had been working with Reuters since 2022 and advised its journalists on safety around the world including in Ukraine, Israel and at the Paris Olympics. He was 38. "We send our deepest condolences and thoughts to Ryan's family and loved ones,” Reuters said in the statement. “Ryan has helped so many of our journalists cover events around the world; we will miss him terribly." President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the hotel was hit by a Russian Iskander missile, a ballistic missile that can strike at distances up to 310 miles (500 km). "An ordinary city hotel was destroyed by the Russian Iskander," he said in his evening address on Sunday, adding the strike was "absolutely purposeful, thought out ... my condolences to family and friends." The Russian Defence Ministry did not respond to a request for comment. Reuters was not able to independently verify if the missile that hit the hotel was fired by Russia or if it was a deliberate strike on that building. The Donetsk province's regional prosecutor's office said in a Telegram post that the body of a British citizen had been found in the rubble of a hotel building in Kramatorsk. The hotel was "destroyed" at 10:35 p.m. local time (1935 GMT) on Saturday "probably with an Iskander-M missile", it said. The prosecutor's office said it has opened a pre-trial investigation into the strike.7 days ago
