Kyiv, Ukraine: A shooting incident among Ukrainian soldiers stationed in the northeastern Kharkiv region has left three soldiers dead and four others seriously wounded, the Ukrainian army said Wednesday.
No further details were provided and the army did not say who was responsible, saying only that weaponry had been used for "personal" rather than military reasons.
"In one of the units, soldiers used firearms on the basis of personal relationships. As a result of the shooting, three soldiers were killed and four others were injured," the "Khortytsia" regional grouping of the Ukrainian army said.
The wounded suffered "serious" injuries and law enforcement officials were at the scene, it said.
"Management is taking all necessary measures to prevent such incidents in the future," it added.
