Australian journalist Adam Harvey was shot in the neck on Thursday while covering a conflict in the Philippines.
Thanks everyone - I'm okay. Bullet is still in my neck, but it missed everything important.
Harvey, who is the South East Asia correspondent for the Australian national broadcaster the ABC, was in Marawi covering a battle between ISIS militants and the Philippines military.
He was wearing a flak jacket and helmet and standing in what was considered a "safe zone" when he was hit.
After the news of his injury broke, Harvey tweeted "I'm okay", posting a picture of his bandaged neck.
He then kept people updated on his injury – including posting this incredible X-ray, showing the bullet lodged in his neck.
Lucky.
Harvey was flown to Manila and underwent surgery to remove the bullet – which stopped 1cm from his carotid artery.
An update: I've been flown to Manila for surgery to remove the bullet. Doc glanced at X-Ray and said 'M-16'. They know their slugs here.
In a statement, the ABC said Harvey is doing well and his recovery is expected to take a few days.
What a legend - Dr Emmanuel Ibay - spent an hour teasing bullet from my neck. It stopped 1cm from the carotid arter… https://t.co/2tNAq9xXcC
He's keeping the bullet, too.
Got it
