A Russian serviceman shot fellow soldiers and civilians in the Crimean village of Khmelnytske, killing three civilians and one soldier and injuring four others, according to the Sevastopol governor.
A Russian serviceman opened fire in the village of Khmelnytske, part of Sevastopol in Crimea, killing four people and wounding four, the Moscow-appointed governor of Sevastopol said on Tuesday. The attacker first shot at fellow soldiers, killing one and wounding another, before turning his weapon on civilians, killing two men aged 71 and 59 and a 64-year-old woman, and wounding three additional civilians.
"A tragedy in Sevastopol," the governor wrote on Telegram. The gunman was detained, and law-enforcement authorities are investigating the incident, though no motive has been disclosed. Separately, a drone strike outside Moscow killed five people and injured ten, while a drone attack on a beach in Russia's Krasnodar region resulted in seven deaths, regional officials said. Both incidents were attributed to Ukrainian forces, which have not publicly commented.
