Video has emerged of the moment a team of Turkish journalists came under fire in South Ossetia while covering the escalating conflict between Russia and Georgia.
A reporter was shot in the eye when their vehicle came under attack while driving through the South Ossetian capital, Tshinvali, on Sunday.
In footage shot by a camera rolling in the back of their car, Levent Ozturk, driving the team, said: "Friends, I got hit on the head. I am OK now, but in a few minutes..." Guray Ervin, a cameraman, was shot in the shoulder. |
Read more and watch the video
That video has good quality, but this you tube video is longer and also has subtitles.
Warning: Though it isn't graphic, it is disturbing.
It makes me want to cry; it's chilling. There is nothing else I can say about it. It gives me chills. |

This is so upsetting.
It also troubles me that I can find no information on what's happening in my local city's newspaper. Why not keep the people informed? It's upsetting.
This all looks rather bad for the world. |
