A CNN team including senior international correspondent Ben Wedeman, producer Kareem Khadder, photojournalist John Torigoe and translator Valeriia Dubrovska were speaking with a Ukrainian soldier at a crossroads south from the city of Mykolaiv when Russian artillery fire landed nearby. The team was about 150 meters away from the impact and no one was injured by the blast. The group quickly got to their car and drove away. The incident underscored the risks posed to reporting crews reporting on the ground near the frontlines.
