The parents of a Ukrainian journalist who was killed while covering the war for Fox News in 2022 sued the corporation on Thursday for “reckless and negligent conduct.”

The wrongful death suit was filed in New York State Supreme Court by Andriy Kuvshynov and Iryna Mamaysur two years after their 24-year-old daughter Oleksandra “Sasha” Kuvshynova was killed, along with cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski, on March 14, 2022.

The lawsuit, obtained by TheWrap, also accuses Fox News foreign correspondent Benjamin Hall of a “false account” of the tragic incident in his book “Saved,” which was released Tuesday by Harper Collins.

The complaint alleges that Kuvshynova was led into an active war zone in the town of Horenka, despite warnings from local officials and a security consultant who advised them it was not safe.
