Kyiv supermarket attack kills six

Ukrainian authorities are investigating the shooting as a potential act of terrorism, though the gunman's motive remains unclear.

The attacker opened fire on passersby before barricading himself inside a store, where he took several hostages.

Special forces stormed the building after negotiation attempts failed, resulting in the suspect's death.

President Zelensky has expressed his condolences to the families of the victims, while the city remains on high alert as investigators examine potential links to Moscow.
