Mass shooting in Kyiv supermarket

The wartime capital of Kyiv was shaken by a rare and deadly mass shooting that began on a public street and culminated in a supermarket siege.

Ukrainian authorities identified the 58-year-old gunman as a Moscow-born citizen and are investigating potential links to Russian state direction.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his condolences to the victims' families as security forces conducted a 40-minute negotiation attempt that ultimately failed.

The incident has prompted a major inquiry into the motive behind the attack during the ongoing conflict with Russia.
