A Fox News crew in Ukraine was caught in fighting, leaving two journalists dead.

A Fox News cameraman and a Ukrainian journalist were killed in Ukraine on Monday when their vehicle came under fire, according to the network and Ukrainian authorities.

The cameraman, Pierre Zakrzewski, 55, and the Ukrainian journalist, Oleksandra Kuvshynova, 24, were traveling in the same vehicle as the Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall, who was also injured in the attack. Mr. Hall was hospitalized in Ukranian, but Fox News did not give any further details about his condition.

Mr. Zakrzewski was a veteran reporter at Fox News. He was reporting for the network in Ukraine. Ms. Kuvshynova worked for Fox News.

Suzanne Scott, the chief executive of Fox News Media, wrote in a memo to the network's staff that it was a sad day.

Ms. Scott wrote that Pierre was a war zone photographer who covered nearly every international story for Fox News from Iraq to Afghanistan to Syria.

His talents were vast, and there wasn't a role that he didn't jump in to help with in the field. He was renowned for his bravery, professionalism and work ethic as a journalist, and he was profoundly committed to telling the story.

Ms. Kuvshynova worked for several weeks with the Fox News crew. Foreign correspondents often rely on local journalists for a variety of roles, such as navigating an unfamiliar country.

Her dream was to connect people around the world and tell their stories, and she fulfilled that through her journalism.

The director general of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization condemned the attack that killed journalists.

Micheal Martin, the prime minister of Ireland, commented on the deaths.

On Sunday, the American filmmaker and journalist was shot and killed while reporting in a suburb of Kyiv.

Mr. Zakrzewski, who was based in London, assisted Fox News in getting its Afghan staff out of Afghanistan after the Taliban took control of the country.

Jay Wallace, the president of Fox News, wrote in a memo that Pierre was a constant in all of their international coverage. The legacy of his positive spirit, boundless energy and eye for the story will carry on.
