Dramatic GoPro footage shows the moment a group of journalists was attacked and injured by Russian shelling as they covered the conflict in Luhansk late last month.

The remarkable footage was captured by Alex Chan Tsz Yuk who was wearing the camera on his helmet.

According to Chan Tsz Yuk, who is normally based in Hong Kong, he and his colleagues were planning to head into Severodonetsk on May 28 via a bridge in Lysychansk.

They decided to turn back when they saw some burning vehicles and backed away from the bridge and surrounding areas with Russian troops visible at least 500-600 meters away.

The group, which included Ukrainian filmmaker Mykola, were talking to some Ukrainian soldiers when the first shells exploded beside them.

Mykola's right arm was hit by shrapnel and a second blast damaged Chan Tsz Yuk hearing.

As they took cover in a ditch other shells exploded nearby.

They attended to Mykola's arm, stemming the bleeding with a tourniquet and fled the scene with help from Ukrainian soldiers.

Mykola was injured on his right upper shoulder and is now recovering in Kyiv ahead of surgery.

This is the video Alex Chan Tsz Yuk shot using a GoPro camera mounted on the helmet, documenting what happened during a Russian artillery strike on their position at 15:40 in Lysychansk, Luhansk on May 28, 2022.
Alex Chan Tsz Yuk and his fellow colleagues originally planned to head into Severodonetsk through a bridge connecting Lysychansk and Severodonetsk, as they accessed the area two days ago, with connections, stories and military contacts inside.
They decided to turn back when they saw some burning vehicles thinking it might not be a good idea to continue heading in, they backed off and distanced from the bridge and surrounding areas with the line of sight of Russian troops at least 500-600 meters, they along with the local Ukrainian fixer/documentary filmmaker Mykola were exchanging on-ground information with two soldiers (which they believe they are safe either) while the strike hit them, the first strike is extremely precise as it hits several meters from Mykola, shrapnel hitting his right arm, injuring him. The second hit is on Alex Chan Tsz Yuk's left side, damaging his hearing. After placing themselves in ditches for cover, in just a few seconds multiple hits, double tap and triple tap soon follow.
Fixer Mykola was injured on his right upper shoulder, and now he is recovering and awaiting surgery in Kyiv.
