Mass Shooting Shakes Kyiv

Mass Shooting Shakes Kyiv

The Ukrainian capital was rocked by a rare and deadly mass shooting that began in the Holosiivskyi district.

A 58-year-old gunman, identified as a Moscow-born Ukrainian citizen, brandished an automatic weapon against civilians before barricading himself inside a supermarket with hostages.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the death toll and expressed condolences to the families of the victims.

Investigators are now examining whether the attack was a lone incident or a coordinated act of terrorism directed by Russian interests.
