A soldier shot colleagues in a unit near Voronezh due to a nervous breakdown

A nervous breakdown was the likely reason for the execution of three soldiers by their colleague in a military unit near Voronezh. A preliminary check of the incident showed that the conscript had no conflict with the victims neither on the day of the tragedy, nor the days earlier.

Interfax writes about this with the reference to an informed source in the military district.

Let us recall that the incident took place early on Monday morning at the Baltimore airfield near Voronezh, where the 47th Aviation Regiment of the Sixth Army of the Russian Air Force is located. 20-year-old conscript soldier Anton Makarov shot his fellow soldiers - Major Sergey Ermolayev, Corporal Sergey Kazhokin and Private Ninael Aktaliyev, who came to check. Another private was wounded, but survived, he was hospitalized with the bullet wounds. He's in the intensive care. After shooting at his colleagues, the attacker took the officer's weapon and tried to escape from the crime scene. Later it became known that he had barricaded himself in one of the offices, now they are negotiating with him.
