Tragedy in Ukraine, where a National Guard soldier opened fire on other soldiers in an aerospace factory, killing five and wounding five others, before fleeing.

This was announced by the Ukrainian Minister of the Interior.

"A member of the Ukrainian National Guard exploded shots with a Kalashnikov assault rifle on the guards", explains the brief note issued by the ministry, "and then fled with the weapon. As a result, five people were killed and another five injured. "

According to local police sources, the victims are four other members of the National Guard and a woman, a civilian.

The episode took place around 3.40 local time (2.40 in Italy), when presumably the soldier was on armed guard duty in the Ioujmach group factory in the city of Dnipro.
