At least six people have been killed after a gunman opened fire in Kyiv.
The head of Ukraine's interior ministry has said that police killed the suspect at a supermarket in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district.
Ihor Klymenko said special forces entered the store, where the gunman had taken people hostage and shot at police officers, after attempts to make contact with a negotiator failed.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said later that the incident was being investigated as a terrorist act.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that five people are known to have died.
The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, added that 15 people were injured in the shooting, and said earlier that those injured included a child.
He added at around 5.10pm that a woman in her 30s died in the hospital, bringing the total to six killed.
In an update after 6pm, Mr Zelenskyy said that one of the six killed was a hostage, and four others were killed on the street.
He added on Telegram that investigators are aware that the attacker set fire to the apartment before going out into the street with a weapon.
According to Mr Zelenskyy, the suspect had also been criminally investigated before - although it is unclear what for - was born in Russia, and had lived in the Donetsk region for a long period of time.
