France opens three new probes into 'war crimes' in Ukraine: Prosecutors

French anti-terror prosecutors said Tuesday that they were opening three new probes into suspected war crimes committed against French nationals during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The cases took place in the southern city of Mariupol; in Hostomel, outside Kyiv; and in Chernihiv in northen Ukraine, the national anti-terror prosecutors' office said in a statement.

The prosecutors had already opened a war crime probe on March 16 into the death of Franco-Irish Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski, who was shot near Kyiv while covering the war.
