The press service of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People's Republic has confirmed the death of Anton Voloshin, the second member of a filming crew of the Russian state TV and radio company VGTRK.
"Yes, the body, or, to be more precise, the remains have been found. They have been found right at the scene of a mortar attack in the community of Metallist," a press service member told Interfax.
"The bodies of both dead journalists Anton Voloshin and Igor Kornelyuk will be handed over to their relatives tomorrow," he said.
Kornelyuk died at the hospital after sustaining grave injuries as the filming crew came under mortar fire near Lugansk on Tuesday. Sound engineer Voloshin has been considered missing until lately. Cameraman Viktor Denisov was not injured.
