A Channel 5 film crew came under fire while working in Bakhmut, in the Donetsk oblast of Ukraine, on September 27. The channel’s editor and journalist Olha Kalinovska, Serhii Klymenko and Sergej Malin were interviewing people and filming in the centre of Bakhmut when they got caught in nearby Russian shelling. The trio was able to escape unharmed. The team had first been filming in the outskirts to interview residents and then moved closer to the centre. The channel’s editor, Kalinovska, wrote an account of the attack on her Facebook page. “People were fleeing, and we filmed everyone running away. Everyone was running to the doorways, we wanted to hide between the houses, but then realized that this is a bad idea, because between the houses you can’t hear where the shells are landing. On the road, we can at least see it. That’s why we decided to leave. And while we were leaving, there was whistling, and the centre itself was being bombed,” the journalist said. It was not possible to independently identify the source of the fire. However, the city had been under bombardment by Russian shelling for a significant time. Ukrainian troops were stationed in and around the city.
