German journalist is injured in Donetsk region

Bild's editor-in-chief Johannes Boie, as well as Stritzel himself, wrote about this on Twitter. European Pravda reports.

According to Boie, the correspondent was wounded by shrapnel. "He’s safe (as safe as possible) and the injury is not too bad. However, this is a reminder of all the hardship reporters in Ukraine are going through to tell the truth," he added.

Stritzel wrote that he received a wound on his forehead, most likely from a piece of glass while he was having dinner - suggesting that it was caused by a missile falling nearby.

"Target was most likely a train station located around the corner, though I haven’t seen any big impact site yet as one would expect for missiles with a bigger warhead. Place is out of range of RF artillery and Uragan also, so also possible that it was an UAV," journalist noted.

Thanks for all the messages, I am fine, just a cut on the forehead most likely by glass splinter.
Was having dinner when the blast happened (not quite sure about the ordnance, haven’t found any debris yet). https://t.co/zk9RRVMkGg

Stritzel did not specify where he is, but his Twitter page suggests that he has been working in ​​Bakhmut and Soledar areas in recent days, where some of the fiercest battles against Russian troops are currently taking place.

• On December 20, in the Kherson region, Russian troops shelled Italian journalists in a car marked as a press. According to journalists, their car was deliberately targeted, but they managed to escape. However, one of them received minor damage.
