Previously, during America Reports, Roberts reported on the incident but did not disclose Hall’s name:
This is news that we hate to pass along to you, but it’s obviously what happens sometimes in the middle of a conflict. A Fox News journalist has been injured while news gathering outside of Kyiv. Very few details, but teams on the ground are working as hard as they can to try to gather more information.
A reminder, of course, this is in a war zone, that information changes very quickly and we are working as hard as possible to get the best information that we possibly can and get all the details on what has happened. The safety of our Fox team, of course, is of the utmost importance, and our highest priority.
Fox News did not have immediate comment.
The news comes one day after journalists Brent Renaud and Juan Arredondowere shot by Russian forces in the city of Irpin. Renaud died, while Arredondo was wounded.
