A Russian soldier is accused of killing four people and wounding four others in a shooting rampage at the naval port of Sevastopol in Crimea, according to authorities. Reports say the attack began with gunfire directed at fellow service members before civilians were also targeted.

Authorities said the soldier initially opened fire on other soldiers, killing one and injuring another. The total death toll later rose to four, with four more people reported hurt in the violence.

The suspected gunman was identified in reports as Maxim Alistratov, 21, from Saratov. The available details indicate the shooting unfolded in Sevastopol, a key naval city on the Crimean peninsula, though no clear motive was described in the information released so far.

The incident has drawn attention because it involved both military personnel and civilians in the same attack. Officials were still piecing together the events, and the limited public information left several questions unanswered about how the shooting developed and what led up to it.
