KIEV — Ukrainian soldiers shot dead one man and detained another who were trying to steal weapons from a military base in Kharkiv, police said Thursday.
A soldier defending the base was killed and two others were hurt after the two brothers, wearing masks and camouflage, attacked with knives, police said.
The slain soldier was a conscript and due to be discharged from the army in two weeks, a prosecutor said.
One attacker had served in a special forces unit in Russia.
