A Spanish aid worker was killed when a missile hit the vehicle she was travelling in in Ukraine, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said on Sunday.
"Unfortunately, I can confirm a missile hit a vehicle in which this Spanish worker was travelling who was working for a humanitarian NGO in Ukraine. We have verbal confirmation of her death," Albares told reporters in India where he attended the G20 meeting.
Two foreign aid volunteers have been killed and two others injured in a missile attack in Ukraine.
The Road to Relief NGO said Anthony Ihnat, a Canadian, died in what it described as a "Russian attack" on a vehicle driving toward Bakhmut.
The group said the vehicle suffered a "direct hit" near Chasiv Yar on Saturday, flipped over and caught fire.
Road to Relief, which is registered in Ukraine, added in its statement that German medical volunteer Ruben Mawick and Johan Mathias Thyr, a Swede, were badly injured by shrapnel but were stable in hospital.
The aid workers had left from Slovyansk and were headed to the Bakhmut area to assess the needs of civilians "caught in crossfire" in the town of Ivanivske, the statement said.
