In Kyiv, KORD special forces neutralized a 58-year-old man who shot people and took hostages. The attacker used automatic weapons.
In the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, a special operation to neutralize a shooter who had previously killed four people and taken hostages in a supermarket has concluded. The circumstances of the incident and information about the victims are being clarified. This was reported by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Ruslan Kravchenko, writes UNN.
In the Holosiivskyi district of the capital, a 58-year-old native of Moscow opened fire, killed four people, and then barricaded himself in a supermarket, holding hostages.
According to preliminary data, he used automatic weapons. Simultaneously, a fire broke out in the apartment where the attacker was registered.
The Kyiv city prosecutor promptly arrived at the scene. During the assault by the KORD special unit, the shooter was eliminated.
I believe it is fundamental: the state must act tough and decisively when it comes to threats to people's lives. In such situations, there is no room for compromise; there is only the duty to protect citizens.
Information regarding the victims is currently being clarified. Details and circumstances will follow.
