Live updates: follow the latest news on Russia-Ukraine
A Russian journalist working for an investigative news website was killed by shelling in Kyiv on Wednesday, while covering the fallout of Moscow's attacks on the Ukrainian capital, her employer said.
The Insider said Oksana Baulina, who previously worked for Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny's anti-corruption group, "died under fire in Kyiv" while "filming the destruction" caused by Russian shelling.
"Insider journalist Oksana Baulina died during a bombardment in Kyiv while carrying out an editorial assignment ... another civilian died with her," the outlet, whose editorial offices are based in Latvia, said.
Ms Baulina was killed along with a civilian when Russian troops shelled a residential neighbourhood in Kyiv. Two civilians were injured, The Insider said.
The website said she left Russia after authorities designated Mr Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation an extremist organisation last year.
She continued reporting on corruption in Russia for The Insider and filed several reports from Kyiv and Lviv in western Ukraine for the outlet after Russian forces invaded the country a month ago, the news outlet said.
"The Insider expresses its deepest condolences to Oksana's family and friends," it said.
Ms Baulina's colleagues mourned her loss on social media.
Vladimir Milov, who worked with her at Mr Navalny's anti-corruption group, vowed to avenge her.
"I will never forget her and to all those who are responsible for her death I promise that they won't get away with [only] a trial and a verdict," Mr Milov said on Twitter.
"What an unbelievable horror," wrote Lyubov Sobol, another prominent member of Mr Navalny's team.
Sergiy Tomilenko, head of the Ukranian journalists' union, confirmed Ms Baulina's death in a statement on Facebook, saying she was reporting on the aftermath of a shelling when she was hit by fresh fire.
Earlier on Wednesday, the union said a cameraman for a local television station in the besieged southern city of Mariupol had also died.
At least five journalists have been killed since Russian forces invaded Ukraine on February 24. Other journalists killed include a US videographer, a French-Irish cameraman and a Ukrainian producer.
UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
Types of bank fraud
1) Phishing
Fraudsters send an unsolicited email that appears to be from a financial institution or online retailer. The hoax email requests that you provide sensitive information, often by clicking on to a link leading to a fake website.
2) Smishing
The SMS equivalent of phishing. Fraudsters falsify the telephone number through “text spoofing,” so that it appears to be a genuine text from the bank.

The telephone equivalent of phishing and smishing. Fraudsters may pose as bank staff, police or government officials. They may persuade the consumer to transfer money or divulge personal information.

Fraudsters duplicate the SIM of your mobile number without your knowledge or authorisation, allowing them to conduct financial transactions with your bank.
5) Identity theft
Someone illegally obtains your confidential information, through various ways, such as theft of your wallet, bank and utility bill statements, computer intrusion and social networks.

Who was Alfred Nobel?
The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.
- In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
- Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
- Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.
