The Ministry of Interior of Udmurtia, one of the autonomous republics in the center of Russia, announced that nine people, including five children, were killed and 20 others were injured in a shooting incident at school No. 88 in Izhevsk, the capital of this republic.

According to our reporter, the ministry’s statement said: “The relevant information and its accuracy are still under investigation.

The press service was informed that the body of the shooter was found.

Alexander Prishalov, the president of the Republic of Udmurtia, who arrived at the scene earlier, said that the attacker’s identity is still unknown.

The media later reported that the attacker committed suicide.

According to AFP, the Russian Interior Ministry said: “The police found the body of the shooter. Our information shows that he committed suicide.”

Earlier, the district governor reported that “among the victims” were children and a security guard was also killed.

Meanwhile, as the country sees a partial mobilization for the fight in Ukraine, a soldier in charge of a Russian army recruitment center was seriously injured when a man opened fire in central Siberia.

“Military commissar Alexander Ilyssev is in a very dangerous condition in the recovery department. Stop the shooter immediately. He will be punished,” said Igor Kubzev, the governor of the Irkutsk region, according to AFP.

He explained that the shooting took place at the military recruitment center in the industrial city of Ust-Ilimsk, located in the heart of Siberia, 600 kilometers north of Irkutsk.

The Russian Investigative Committee stated in a statement that the 25-year-old suspect is a resident of this city.

The governor said: I am ashamed that such an incident happened at a time when we should be united and avoid fighting to deal with real threats.
