Shots fired at Israeli reporting Kyiv during curfew

Ukrainian police fired shots in the air to deter an Israeli reporter who was outside yesterday during a curfew in Kyiv.

In video from the scene Dov Gilhar, a reporter for the Kan public broadcaster, can be seen with his hands in the air trying to identify himself as a journalist and pleading with the officer not to shoot him.

“They see everybody outside during curfew as a Russian agent or undercover soldier,” Gilhar tells Radio 103. “It ended with me very slowly taking out my journalist card, he apologized and went on his way.”
