Kyiv Supermarket Shooting

The attacker, identified as a 58-year-old Moscow-born Ukrainian citizen, reportedly set his own apartment on fire before beginning his rampage in a central residential district.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned the incident as a terrorist act and confirmed that the Security Service of Ukraine is investigating potential motives.

Among the dead is at least one hostage who was killed inside the store before police intervened.

This level of domestic violence is highly unusual for the Ukrainian capital, even during the ongoing war with Russia.
