Fox News correspondent injured in Ukraine

A correspondent for Fox News was injured and hospitalized on Monday while covering the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the US television network says.

Benjamin Hall, a Briton who covers the State Department for Fox News, was injured while “newsgathering outside of Kyiv,” Fox News says in a statement.

“We have a minimal level of details right now, but Ben is hospitalized and our teams on the ground are working to gather additional information,” it says.

Irina Venediktova, Ukraine’s prosecutor general, says in a Facebook post that a British journalist had received shrapnel wounds to both legs.

She does not identify the journalist, but posts a picture of a US congressional press pass belonging to a Fox News reporter.
