A Syrian cameraman working for an official television channel was shot dead "by terrorists" on Wednesday in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor, his broadcaster announced.
Cameraman Mohammed al-Ashram "was killed by terrorists" in Deir Ezzor, the largest city in eastern Syria, Al-Ikhbariya director Imad Sara told AFP.
The journalist was taking photographs when he was hit by two bullets, in his chest and his foot, he added.
