En mann har tatt tyve mennesker som gisler på en buss i Ukraina, melder AFP. Skudd er blitt avfyrt, og politiet er på stedet.

Deutsche Welle skriver:

A man with explosives and weapons seized a bus and took around 20 people hostage in northwestern Ukraine on Tuesday, police announced.

Authorities blocked off the city center of Lutsk, some 400 kilometers (250 miles) west of Kyiv.

Motivasjonen bak gisseltakingen er uklar:

Officers are trying to make contact with the assailant. Authorities have already identified the individual and said that he had previously vented his anger with «Ukraine’s system» via social media.
