Hall, Fox's State Department correspondent, has been reporting in and around Ukraine's capital city of Kyiv over the past week. Hall is based in Washington and has been with Fox News since 2015. He most recently appeared on-air over the weekend.
“The safety of our entire team of journalists in Ukraine and the surrounding regions is our top priority and of the utmost importance,” Scott added. “This is a stark reminder for all journalists who are putting their lives on the line every day to deliver the news from a war zone.”

“We will update everyone as we know more,” Scott added. “Please keep Ben and his family in your prayers.”
During his time at Fox News, Hall has reported from the front lines in multiple conflicts and geopolitical hotspots, including Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Gaza.
Hall recently had an on-air confrontation with Fox News host Greg Gutfeld after Gutfeld said the media wanted an “emotional response” from its Ukraine coverage. (RELATED: Fox News' Employee Guidelines Expose Chasm Between Network Executives, Primetime Hosts)
