Ukrainian security sources have revealed to Reuters that on the night of Aug. 24 Russian forces stationed in the southern border region of Rostov fired the missile that killed Reuters safety adviser Ryan Evans. Evans' room bore the brunt of the strike, while two of the agency's journalists were wounded in the same incident.

Ukraine's intelligence services, in previously unreported details of the attack shared with Reuters, said the missile was launched from a site close to the Russian border city of Taganrog.
