Pulitzer Prize-winning Reuters Chief Photographer Danish Siddiqui has been killed while covering war in Afghanistan, Tolo News reported on Friday.

The Indian photojournalist got caught in clashes in Kandahar's Spin Boldak district. He was covering the Taliban and Afghan forces war for the last few days in Afghanistan.

AFP reported that Afghan forces clashed with Taliban fighters in Spin Boldak after an operation was launched to retake the vital border crossing with Pakistan on Friday.

In 2018, Danish Siddiqui became the first Indian to win the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography for documenting the Rohingya refugee crisis.
