In Kyiv, an unidentified man opened fire on passersby and reportedly later detonated an explosive device.
The shooting occurred in the Holosiivskyi district, with at least two people killed, including a young woman. Witnesses say the attacker was running through the street and shooting at people at close range.
After the shooting, the suspect reportedly took hostages inside a Velmart store. He is believed to be around 60 years old, and his motives remain unclear.
A fire also broke out at the scene, possibly caused by an explosion. Police are conducting an operation to detain the suspect, and the number of victims may still change.
