April 2018: in the Daman region of the Afghan province of Kandahar, reporters from foreign and local publications were killed because of the explosion.
November 2015: in Syria, a car with the RT film crew came under fire from the militants, one anti-tank guided missile blew up next to it, the second hit the car. Roman Kosarev was among the wounded.
