In Kyiv, a military reservist stabbed a man and a woman with a knife following an argument
This is not the first such incident in Kyiv in recent months. In particular, in January 2026, an SUV belonging to a military serviceman was blown up in the Obolonskyi district, an incident classified as a terrorist attack. An explosion also occurred in the Podilskyi district of Kyiv, where a car detonated.
As a reminder, two explosions occurred in different districts of Kyiv last April. One was in the Desnianskyi district, and the other in the Dniprovskyi district.
