Semyon Yeryomin, a correspondent for the Russian news outlet Izvestia, lost his life in a kamikaze drone attack in the Zaporozhye Region of Ukraine, as reported by the outlet on Friday.

Yeryomin and his crew were filming near the village of Priyutnoye, documenting the positions of a battalion of Russian troops. The journalist had been actively reporting on the Russian military's efforts to counter Ukrainian kamikaze UAV attacks. However, on their return from the filming location, their vehicle was targeted by a drone, resulting in Yeryomin sustaining fatal injuries, according to eyewitnesses cited by Izvestia.

Having worked in the combat zone since the conflict began in February 2022, Yeryomin had been recognized for his dedication with the medal For Merit to the Fatherland II Degree.

The news of Yeryomin's death prompted an outpouring of condolences from his colleagues, with Izvestia's General Director, Vladimir Tyulin, vowing to seek justice for the fallen journalist.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova condemned the incident, labeling it a "bloody crime" and attributing it to a vendetta against journalists fulfilling their duty.

The UN also denounced the attack and urged for an investigation to be launched. 

Military expert Gennady Alekhin highlighted that journalists are often targeted by drones, citing previous incidents in the conflict.

Yeryomin's death adds to a grim list of media figures who have lost their lives covering the Ukraine conflict, including Boris Maksudov, Rostislav Zhuravlev, Oleg Klokov, and Aleksey Ilyashevich, among others.

While Moscow has accused Kiev of targeted assassinations, including journalist Darya Dugina and military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, Kiev has not officially claimed responsibility for these killings.
