The US condemns "in the strongest possible terms" the December 8 killing of three Orient News journalists in southern Syria, State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki announced Wednesday.
"Rami Asmi, Yousef Al-Dous and Salem Khalil were driving to cover recent opposition advances in the villages of Sheikh Maskeen in Daraa province when a missile struck their car," said Psaki to reporters.
"This tragedy serves as a reminder of the great risks brave journalists are taking in order to shed light on the truth of what is happening in Syria," she added.
The US remains committed to promoting freedom of the press and journalists' safety globally.
