The Russian national TV channel “Pervyi Kanal” writes that in the suburb of Soledar, a group of Russian military correspondents was attacked by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the journalist of the online publication “Readovka” Anastasia Yelsukova was seriously injured.

She was taken to the hospital because she needed an emergency operation.

Channel One journalists Oleksiy Kruchinin, Roman Khrolenko and Dmytro Zelvyanskyi were allegedly with her, but they were not injured.
