Terrorist attack in Kyiv
Seven people died and 14 were injured as a result of a shooting in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district on April 18. The man who orchestrated the shooting took hostages and killed one of them. The attacker killed four more people right on the street. Four hostages were successfully rescued.
The attacker lived in Donetsk Oblast for a long time but was born in Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed.
Footage of the Kyiv terrorist attack appeared online on April 19, showing two police officers running in different directions after shots were fired, leaving behind civilians, including a child.
