French AFP journalist killed in Ukraine rocket attack.

French journalist Arman Soldin, who worked for the AFP news agency, was killed in a rocket attack in Chasiv Yar, near the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, becoming the 15th journalist to be killed since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Soldin was with a team of AFP journalists travelling with Ukrainian soldiers when the group came under fire from Grad rockets. The rest of the team was unhurt. Chasiv Yar lies close to Bakhmut, which Russian forces have been trying to capture for nine months, seeing it as a stepping stone to other parts of eastern Ukraine.
