Russian telegram channels reported without proof the death may be attributed to the way they conduct a documentation.
They group up with multiple other people, including soldiers, and stay as a group continuously. This is to control that nothing gets shown which should not be visible and have a tight control.
Apart from the lacking proof I am sceptical this would be required as this news agency is under full Kremlin control, but rational reasoning isn't required for this authoritarian government.
It's called 'embedding' journalists. It's a real problem.
Edit: struggling to understand why this would be down voted. I'm not making any kind of value claim. It's a matter of law that journalists who ride with soldiers are 'embedded' and the advice is not to do it because it's dangerous and makes things more dangerous for other journalists.
