A Russian serviceman has shot dead eight fellow soldiers and seriously injured two more on a military base in the country’s Far East, officials say.
Private Ramil Shamsutdinov – who has been detained – might have been suffering from mental health problems, they say.
The shooting happened in the military unit No. 54160 in the village of Gorny, not far from the city of Chita, on Friday evening.
A murder investigation is underway.
