It said those cases were also absent from the report\u2019s statistics.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian mission questioned the methodology used to select information for the report, arguing that UNESCO\u2019s verified figures were far below the actual number of journalists killed. It urged UNESCO Director-General Khaled El-Enany to condemn every killing of a journalist, review the methodology with member states and consider changes at the next IPDC session in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>The mission said journalists killed in armed conflicts are civilians and called for their deaths to be properly recorded and condemned. It added that Russia would continue pressing for the cases it has reported to be included in UNESCO\u2019s statistics.<\/p>\n<p>UNESCO\u2019s latest Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity says 189 journalists were killed from the beginning of 2024 to late 2025, including 127 in conflict zones. The report says drone attacks caused 40 per cent of those deaths. It lists 62 deaths in Palestine, 17 in Mexico and 14 in Sudan. It records 12 journalists killed in Ukraine during the period.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=28394\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media News Desk Russia\u2019s mission to UNESCO has accused the organisation of excluding Russian-reported deaths of journalists from its latest report on the safety of journalists.
