A Russian artillery shell hit the press vehicle in which a Spanish journalist from the broadcaster Radio Nacional de España (RNE), Fran Sevilla, and a Brazilian journalist were travelling, in the south of Zaporizhzhia, towards Mariupol. Their vehicle was badly damaged but they are all safe. The two journalists and their driver had to leave the vehicle and wait for the artillery fire to stop. The vehicle was at a road junction where the last Ukrainian defense position was located when it was hit by the shell. "We have just been attacked by Russian artillery. (...) A shell fell there", Sevilla said in a video, explaining that it is impossible to ascertain whether Russian forces deliberately fired at them despite the “PRESS” signs on the vehicle.
