KYIV (Reuters) - Russian forces stationed in the southern border region of Rostov fired the missile that killed Reuters safety adviser Ryan Evans and wounded two of the agency's journalists when it struck a hotel in eastern Ukraine last month, four Ukrainian security sources said.
Ukraine's intelligence services, in previously unreported details of the Aug. 24 attack shared with Reuters, said the missile was launched from a site close to Taganrog, a Russian city on the coast of the Sea of Azov near the Ukrainian border.
