This is terrible news, just 68. Kim was a remarkable and intrepid correspondent. I don’t think anyone matched his score of around 30 embeds with British troops in Afghanistan. And he did so much more, notably in Syria. The ultimate quiet professional independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Very sad to hear news of the death of Kim Sengupta - a quiet legend of our trade, always in the right place, always on the right story, and a gent. The Independent’s award-winning war correspondent Kim Sengupta dies aged 68 independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

So saddened and shocked by the death of my friend (and friend to so many) the great foreign correspondent, Kim Sengupta. He lived for his work - but he was also kind, loving and loved. Irreplaceable.

"Hezbollah will respond, Iran will respond, Yemen will respond.... - Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah promises revenge on Israel for killing of snr commander last week. Just before he spoke we heard massive booms in Beirut as Israeli jets broke the sound barrier)

#PT #Lebanon #Israel "The [Israeli's] wait is part of the punishment, the retaliation and the battle, which is also psychological," said Nasrallah. ( speaking one week after Israel struck Beirut, killing snr Commander)

And it was great to have you in our corner Steve. Many thanks from Southern Lebanon.
