On 18 April 2026, a mass shooting occurred in the Demiivka neighborhood of the Holosiivskyi District of Kyiv, Ukraine, when a man opened fire on his neighbours and passers-by in the street before taking hostages inside a supermarket. He was shot and killed by police in a shootout when the Rapid Operational Response Unit (KORD) stormed the supermarket. Eight people were killed, including the perpetrator, and thirteen others were injured. The perpetrator was 57-year-old Dmytro Vasylchenkov, a Russian-born citizen of Ukraine. He had been in dispute with his neighbours and also made anti-Ukrainian and neo-Nazi statements. The shooting is being investigated as a possible terrorist attack. Two responding police officers were charged with official negligence for allegedly failing to properly confront Vasylchenkov.
