As reported, on April 18 in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, an unknown individual opened fire on people.

He then took hostages in a store and fired at police officers during his arrest. Negotiators attempted to make contact with the attacker. Ultimately, he was neutralized.

Six people were killed in the shooting, and another 14 were injured.

Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko instructed the Head of the National Police of Ukraine, Ivan Vyhovskyi, to conduct an internal investigation into the actions of police officers during the terrorist attack in Kyiv and to provide all information to the State Bureau of Investigations.
