"A car carrying two local journalists was destroyed by an anti-tank missile. It is not possible to recover the bodies at the moment due to heavy fire coming from the Ukrainian side. Currently we're trying to determine what news outlet the slain journalists were working for," a DNR militia source told the Sputnik news agency.
Another source, also a DPR representative, told the Donetsk News Agency that the two journalists died near the town of Peski, in the Donetsk region late on Sunday. The source also said the journalists were killed by a shell that hit their car and presumed the attack was carried out by the Ukrainian military.
There has been no immediate reaction from Ukrainian authorities on Sunday evening.
An investigation has been launched into the incident, according to the DPR Defense Ministry.
"For now, the circumstances of the incident are being clarified. A more detailed and comprehensive account will be given tomorrow," said a DPR Defense Ministry spokesman Eduard Basurin.
