The Russian Investigative Committee said on Sunday that it had opened a criminal case on the shelling of the Zaporozhye region by the Ukrainian troops, which killed Sputnik war correspondent Rostislav Zhuravlev and injured several other journalists, including photojournalist Konstantin Mikhalchevsky and Izvestia journalist Roman Polshakov.
The investigators will establish the incident's circumstances and those involved in the attack on the Russian mass media employees, the committee added.
