French journalists covering the events in Ukraine filmed the missile attack in Kramatorsk on 2 January during a live broadcast in the studio.

Paul Gasnier, Héloïse Grégoire and Théo Palfray are staying in the east of Ukraine and have been joining the air of TF1-TMC from Kramatorsk.

When the journalist started talking to the studio, a missile hit less than a kilometre away from him. The explosion managed to get into the frame, after which they [the film crew - ed.] caught themselves and fell to the ground.

When the journalists moved to another place, they went back on the air and described their experience. According to them, the team was scared, but no one was injured.

The live broadcast took place on 2 January at around 20:00 Paris time. A fragment of the video was later republished by numerous mass media outlets.
