Mattia Sorbi, an Italian freelance
journalist, has been injured in an incident in war-ravaged
Ukraine, ANSA sources said on Thursday.
The foreign ministry told ANSA that it was "in constant contact"
with the reporter, who was hurt in the area of Kherson.
"He is being treated. We have positive news about his state of
health," the ministry said
"We are working to bring him back safely to Italy as soon as
possible".
Local sources said the reporter was being treated in a hospital
under Russian control.
Later on Thursday, Sorbi wrote on Facebook that he was safe and
well, adding that communication problems had prevented him from
posting online.
