AFP's Ukraine video coordinator Arman Soldin was killed on Tuesday by rocket fire near Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine, AFP journalists who witnessed the incident said.
"The whole agency is devastated by the loss of Arman," AFP chairman Fabrice Fries said."His death is a terrible reminder of the risks and dangers faced by journalists every day covering the conflict in Ukraine."He began working for AFP as an intern in its Rome bureau in 2015 and was later hired in London.
Soldin had been living in Ukraine since September, leading the team's coverage and travelling regularly to the front lines in the east and south.
