He was hit by a rocket/ The French journalist lost his life while reporting in

A 32-year-old French journalist has been killed while reporting from the war zone in eastern Ukraine.

Arman Soldin, who worked for the AFP news agency, was killed on Tuesday after being hit by a rocket near Chasiv Yar, west of Bakhmut.

A team of journalists was attacked around 16:30 (13:30 GMT) while with a group of Ukrainian soldiers.

French President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to Soldin's work on the front lines of the war.

"We share the pain with his family and colleagues", he wrote in a post on "Twitter".

The head of "AFP", Fabrice Fries, said that the News Agency was saddened by the death of Soldin, who he said faced daily danger during his reporting in Ukraine.

The director of the Agency for Europe, Christine Buhagiar, remembered Soldi as "enthusiastic, energetic and brave" and said he was very dedicated to his profession.

Journalist Soldin was part of the first "AFP" team that went to Ukraine after the invasion of Russia in February last year and had been living there since September.

Ukraine's Ministry of Defense expressed its condolences to Soldin's family and colleagues, saying: He dedicated his life to informing the world about the truth. His legacy, as well as his cause, will live on.

Soldin, who is originally from Bosnia, is the 15th journalist to be killed while reporting on the war in Ukraine since February 2022.
