A Rossiya television crew came under attack by the Ukrainian government forces at a border checkpoint in southeastern Ukraine, the defense ministry of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) said Sunday.

DONETSK (Sputnik) – The ministry said there were no casualties among the crew at the checkpoint along the Donetsk-Horlivka highway.

"A group of journalists from the Rossiya TV channel came under a mortar attack from Ukrainian security forces in the area of the Yasynuvata checkpoint at around 17:00. The correspondents were also fired at from small arms and SPG recoilless guns," the ministry told the Donetsk news service.
