7:40 am: Drama in the Ukrainian ranks
A Ukrainian National Guard soldier opened fire with his Kalashnikov on his comrades. Five of them died and five others were injured. The facts took place overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, in a factory in the center of the country manufacturing rockets and space launchers, but also missiles, vehicles and industrial tools.
The shooter fled with his gun and is currently wanted. “The motives for the crime are not yet known,” said the Interior Ministry. Shootings in military units in the former USSR are a recurrent phenomenon, often due to hazing.
