Why the quotes around “war correspondent?” Was he Press, or was he not?
Biased or not, unarmed journalists and medical personnel should be off-limits.
As I understand, he was embedded, and wasn’t personally targeted; too bad for him. That’s the risk you take. But the quotes in the title appear to try to legitimize him as a valid target, and unless he was engaging in combat, that’s not right.
Considering he looks like he is in camo, with no indication of his journalist status, I’d call it fair game. You can’t really wait for an identity check when flying a FPV drone in enemy territory.
