KYIV -- Five people have died and five more were wounded in a shooting spree at Ukraine's Yuzhmash machine-building factory in the eastern city of Dnipro.
The Interior Ministry said on January 27 that a conscript, Artemiy Ryabchuk, opened fire with an AK-47 assault rifle at a group of National Guard personnel before fleeing the site.
Volodymyr Shylo of the State Bureau of Investigation told RFE/RL that Ryabchuk was eventually detained near a village in the Dnipro region, adding that the motive for the shooting was still unclear.
Yuzhmash is a state facility that among other things produces spacecraft, rockets, and rocket-launching vehicles.
