BY A STAFF REPORTER: A Russian female journalist working for a leading Kremlin-backed media group has died in a shooting accident at a military training ground in Russian-occupied Crimea, Moscow-installed officials reported. Svetlana Babayeva, who was killed on Friday, headed up the Russian state-owned Rossiya Segodnya media group’s bureau in Simferopol, the second-largest city on the Crimean peninsula, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014. Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian governor of Crimea, called her death an irrevocable loss. “Svetlana did a great deal to convey to the public the truth about what is going on in Kherson region,” said Vladimir Saldo, the Russian-backed head of Ukraine’s southern, mainly Russian-occupied Kherson region.
