Estonian journalists Anton Alekseev and Christian Svirgsden from ERR, Jaanus Piirsalu and Dmitry Kotyukh from Postimees, and German Welt correspondent Alfred Hackensberger were caught under Russian shelling near Siversk in the Donetsk region of Eastern Ukraine. The crew was forced to take shelter for 15 minutes after being caught under heavy fire. They left the area shortly afterwards. Fragments of cluster ammunition fell relatively close to them, but none of the crew members was injured.
