At least five people have been killed after a man opened fire in a supermarket in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, on Saturday (18 April).
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said five people had died and 10 others were in hospital following the shooting, in a post on social media platform X, warning the toll could rise.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs said the attacker was shot dead by police after taking people hostage and opening fire on officers.
Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko said the shooter had been identified as a 58-year-old native of Moscow and a fire had broken out in the Kyiv apartment where the suspect was registered.
Kravchenko said four people had been killed in the street and one inside the supermarket, where the suspect had brandished an automatic weapon.
Zelenskyy expressed his “condolences to the families and loved ones” of the victims, adding that investigators from the National Police and the Security Service of Ukraine were examining the incident.
Earlier, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram that several people had been killed and others injured.
