A British man was killed when a Russian missile hit his hotel in Ukraine.

Today, amidst the chaos and destruction of war, a tragic event unfolded. In the city of Kramatorsk, Ukraine, a missile strike on a hotel claimed the life of a British journalist. The man, whose identity remains anonymous, was staying at Hotel Sapphire with five of his colleagues from Reuters. They were all caught off guard when the hotel was hit on Saturday, resulting in the death of their colleague and injuries to two others.

According to Oleksandr Honcharenko, the head of the city's military administration, the man's body was found today under the rubble of the destroyed hotel building. It is believed that the missile attack was carried out by the Russian Federation. The news of this tragedy has reached the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, who are currently gathering more information from the local authorities.

The strike also left six others injured, including four foreign journalists who suffered wounds to their head and legs. The Ukrainian government has placed the blame on Russian forces, accusing them of firing an Iskander-M missile. Kramatorsk, the largest city occupied by Ukraine in the eastern Donbas region, has been a vital location for humanitarian workers and journalists covering the ongoing war.

Despite the dangers and constant threat of being targeted, life still goes on in Kramatorsk. While alcohol may be banned, the local cafes continue to serve customers into the evening, even as the city is filled with the sounds of explosions and gunfire. However, the presence of tanks and troops, and the city's close proximity to the frontlines, make it a prime target for Russian attacks.

This is not the first time that innocent lives have been lost in this city. In fact, just three years ago, a similar tragedy struck when a Russian missile hit a pizza restaurant where novelist and war crimes investigator Victoria Amelina was dining with a group of Colombian journalists. The 37-year-old writer and 12 others, including four children, lost their lives in the attack.

The death of the British journalist serves as a harsh reminder of the devastating toll that war takes on innocent civilians. As the world continues to watch and hope for peace in this region, we mourn the loss of this brave journalist and all those who have lost their lives in this ongoing conflict.
