Jochen Piest was a correspondent for the German newsmagazine "Stern".

On January 10, 1995, Piest was killed in a suicide attack by a Chechen rebel against a Russian mine-clearing unit in the village of Chervlyonna, about 24 kilometers northeast of the Chechen capital, Grozny. Piest was fatally hit by three bullets, while a "Rossiskaya Gazeta" correspondent Vladimir Sorokin was wounded in the attack. The gunman died when the locomotive collided with the military train.
