Bjorn Stritzel, a reporter for the German publication Bild, who covers the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, received a shrapnel wound on Monday evening, January 2, as a result of, probably, Russian shelling.. This was announced by the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Johannes Boye on Twitter.

Bjorn Stritzel was wounded by shrapnel while covering Russian aggression in Ukraine. He is safe (as far as possible) and the injury is not very serious. However, this is a reminder of all the hardships reporters in Ukraine go through to tell the truth.. Thanks! "

Subsequently, the journalist himself clarified that he received a cut on his forehead, probably due to a piece of glass flying off, and noted: " He said that at the time of the impact he was having dinner, posting a photo of the damaged building in which he was then located..

Stritzel suggested that the cause of the explosion was a rocket fragment that fell next to the building..

" The site is located outside the range of Russian artillery and Hurricanes, so it is also possible that it was a UAV,"

Recall, on New Year's Eve, a journalist from Japan was injured as a result of Russian rocket attack on Kyiv..
