A soldier has killed eight military personnel and wounded two more in a shooting spree at a military unit in Russia.
The Russian Defense Ministry said on October 25 the soldier began shooting at his colleagues during a watch shift in a unit located in the Zabaikalye region in Siberia.
According to the ministry, the soldier may have been suffering from a nervous breakdown when the shooting started.
A ministry commission led by Deputy Defense Minister Andrei Kartapolov has left Moscow for the unit's location, the ministry said.
