Fox news cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski was working with correspondent Benjamin Hall when their vehicle was hit in the north-eastern part of the village of Gorenka, near Kyiv, according to a statement from Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott. “Pierre was a war zone photographer who covered nearly every international story for Fox News from Iraq to Afghanistan to Syria during his long tenure with us,” Scott said. “His passion and talent as a journalist were unmatched. It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we share the news this morning regarding our beloved cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski,” Scott added.

Pierre recently received the “Unsung Hero” award during Fox’s annual employee spotlight award ceremony in December. 

Last year, Pierre played a key role in getting Afghan freelance associates and their families out of the country after the U.S. withdrawal

On Monday, the network said Hall was injured and hospitalized while covering Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but had little details about the situation. 

 “The safety of our entire team of journalists in Ukraine and the surrounding regions is our top priority and of the utmost importance,”  Scott said in an earlier statement.

Hall remains hospitalized and the network asked for people to keep both families in their prayers.
