A Russian gunman was killed by special forces Saturday in Ukraine after opening fire at a supermarket in Kyiv, killing six people and wounding 14 others — including a 12‑year‑old boy.
The 58-year-old shooter long resided in the Donetsk region and was born in Moscow, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko.
He took at least four hostages, killed one of them, and fatally shot four others on the street, Zelenskyy said. Another woman died at a hospital from her injuries.
Graphic video captured by witnesses showed the gunman shooting at a victim within close range on the street. Other bodies were seen lying on the pavement and in courtyards.

Ukranian special forces stormed the convenience store after 40 minutes of failed negotiations, according to Klymenko.
At least fourteen people were wounded in the attack, though officials cautioned the number may rise as people continue to seek medical assistance.
Among the injured is a 12‑year‑old boy and a supermarket security guard, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

Zelenskyy said the shooter also set fire to an apartment prior to the attack, though it is unclear if any injuries resulted from the arson.
«My condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims,» Zelenskyy wrote in an X post. «…We wish all the wounded a swift recovery.»
The gunman had previously been prosecuted for criminal offenses, but held a valid weapons permit, according to authorities. Investigators from the National Police and the Security Service of Ukraine are investigating.

Democrats split over Tlaib’s Lebanon measure as Republicans seize on Hezbollah omission

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Democrats splintered over a resolution seeking to block the U.S. from assisting Israel’s war against Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, on Thursday.
The measure, offered by progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., would require President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Lebanon. For months, Israel and Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terrorist group and Iranian proxy, have been at war in southern Lebanon, but the United States has not joined the conflict.
A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., rejected the measure. Critics argued the resolution could aid Hezbollah and potentially hamstring U.S. military operations in the country.
Tlaib’s resolution failed 92-324, with more than half of House Democrats joining nearly all Republicans to vote it down.

REP RASHIDA TLAIB MOVES TO BLOCK US OPERATIONS IN LEBANON BUT IGNORES HEZBOLLAH
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., an Israel critic, was the lone Republican to support Tlaib’s measure. Meanwhile, Reps. Derek Tran, D-Calif., and Betty McCollum, D-Minn., voted present.
House Democratic leaders said shortly before the vote they would oppose Tlaib’s resolution and work with the progressive lawmaker on a narrower measure exempting some U.S. military operations in the country. Their statement also denounced Hezbollah as a «violent terrorist organization» and a «sworn enemy of the United States.»
Tlaib, who has accused Israel of committing «ethnic cleansing» in Lebanon, did not mention Hezbollah in her resolution. She and other proponents of the measure also avoided discussing the Iranian proxy force during heated floor debate over the measure.
Republicans highlighted the omission and accused the legislation’s supporters of serving as «proxies for Hezbollah.»
«Apparently they don’t want to see Israel killing Hezbollah, even though it’s Hezbollah that is killing Israeli children, Israeli adults, Israeli elders,» House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., said Wednesday, referring to his Democratic colleagues.
Tlaib asserted that her resolution would only affect U.S. forces actively engaged in hostilities. Republicans, however, disputed that claim and suggested it would hurt U.S. efforts to counter Hezbollah.
«It doesn’t say anything about [whether] you can keep the Marines that are in the embassy,» Mast said, referring to the U.S. embassy in Beirut. «That’s a pretty big oversight. It doesn’t say anything about whether we can keep United States armed forces that are training missions with the LAF [Lebanese Armed Forces]. Again, pretty big oversight.»

RASHIDA TLAIB HIT WITH HOUSE CENSURE THREAT, ACCUSED OF ‘CELEBRATING TERRORISM’ IN PRO-PALESTINIAN SPEECH
The debate turned personal when Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, linked Tlaib to Hezbollah.
«Hezbollah is a terrorist organization … and its members are butchers that you like to hang out with to a certain extent,» the Ohio lawmaker said, referring to Tlaib.
A shouting match between the two then broke out, with Tlaib demanding that Miller’s remarks be stricken from the record.
The presiding chair ultimately complied with her request, but Miller doubled down on his remarks.

«Yes, I said it. I own it, and I stand by it,» Mast said on behalf of Miller on the floor.
Tlaib’s failed war powers resolution comes as Iran has sought to tie Israel’s invasion of Lebanon to its ceasefire negotiations with the United States.
Hezbollah, which has long helped Iran project power in the region, rejected a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon’s government Thursday.

As Hezbollah rejects truce, families on Israel’s northern border describe life under fire

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Two days after another ceasefire was announced between Israel and U.S. terrorist designated group Hezbollah, Yulia Bar-Dan was standing outside her temporary home in Kibbutz Manara in northern Israel when the familiar sound of an interceptor echoed overhead.
«There will probably be another siren soon,» she told Fox News Digital.
Minutes later, an alert appeared on her phone warning residents in northern Israel to take shelter.
For Bar-Dan, the scene captured the reality of life on Israel’s northern border nearly two years after Hezbollah joined the war against Israel on Oct. 8, 2023.
After Hezbollah entered the recent war in support of Iran, Washington launched a diplomatic effort aimed at turning the ceasefire into a broader arrangement for Lebanon.
ISRAEL OPENS FIRE IN LEBANON AT ‘SUSPECTS’ ALLEGEDLY VIOLATING TRUCE, WHICH HAS ENTERED ITS SECOND DAY
Multiple rounds of talks between Israeli and Lebanese officials have taken place in Washington, and President Donald Trump repeatedly has announced ceasefire understandings aimed at restoring calm along the border. Residents of communities like Manara, Israel, say the rockets, drones and uncertainty never really stopped.

«A ceasefire is supposed to be on both sides,» she said. «Not that Hezbollah keeps shooting at us and we just keep absorbing it.»
When Fox News Digital first spoke to Bar-Dan in December 2024 during the war, she and her husband had fled Manara, Israel, with their three children and were living out of a single hotel room, unsure whether they would ever return home.
Today, roughly 200 of the kibbutz’s 280 residents have returned, Bar-Dan said. But many, including Bar-Dan’s family, still cannot live in their original homes because of war damage.

Despite repeated ceasefire announcements, residents say normal life remains elusive.
«There hasn’t really been a routine or a quiet day since February,» she said.
Schools officially reopened in early June, but Bar-Dan decided not to send her children.
«They take the bus to school,» she said. «What if there’s a siren on the way? I can’t take that chance.»

Her frustration is not directed at Hezbollah alone.
Like many residents interviewed by Fox News Digital, Bar-Dan says there is a growing disconnect between the reality experienced on the border and the reality described by politicians.
«It doesn’t really matter where the decisions are being made,» she said. «The decisions just need to match reality. Right now there is a decision, but the reality is completely different.»
A year and a half after most of Manara’s residents were evacuated amid fears of a Hezbollah invasion, community leader Yochai Wolfin says residents have developed their own name for the current situation.
«We call it ‘the ceasefire war,’» he said.
The phrase has become common in the community.
First came a year and a half of evacuation. Then came the return home. Then came what Wolfin describes as three months of «fire within a ceasefire.»
The uncertainty has become part of daily life.
Children study inside shelters. Parts of the kibbutz still lack protected rooms. Construction projects remain unfinished because contractors are reluctant to work so close to the border.
He said many residents increasingly feel that the decisions determining their future are being made far from the communities that bear the consequences.

«Who knows what tomorrow will bring?» Wolfin said. «We know who is calling the shots. We saw it a few days ago when Trump announced another ceasefire. But for us, the reality on the ground hasn’t changed.»
The comments come as Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem warned Thursday that northern Israel would remain unsafe as long as Israeli strikes continue in Lebanon, according to Reuters.
In a written statement broadcast on June 4, 2026, Qassem condemned the Washington-mediated framework as «absurd, humiliating, and insulting,» calling it a roadmap for surrender.
For residents of Israel’s northern border communities, the statements reinforced what many say they have been experiencing for months: a ceasefire that exists on paper but not in daily life.
Naor Shamia, who heads Manara’s emergency response team, says residents increasingly worry that temporary emergency measures are becoming permanent.
«The fear isn’t today,» he said. «The fear is that this becomes years. We are in a deadlock.»
Across the border region, similar concerns are heard.

In the community of Adamit, resident Yael Cohen-Arazi described the contrast between the beauty surrounding her and the reality of living under constant threat.
«Every morning I wake up and think I’m living in paradise,» she said in footage provided to Fox News Digital by the Israeli news agency TPS-IL. «Then there are the explosions that shake my soul.»
Her children, she said, have spent so much of their lives under fire that they no longer know what normal looks like.
«I tell them there are children who don’t live like this,» she said.
Back in Manara, Israel, another alert interrupted the afternoon.
Bar-Dan says she is not angry anymore. Mostly, she is tired and sad.
«I feel bad for the soldiers,» she said. «Every day there is another casualty, and there is still no solution.»
Yet she insists she is staying.

En medio de la guerra, el presidente de la federación de fútbol iraní pelea para que su selección vaya al Mundial

Los preparativos de Irán para la próxima Copa Mundial en Norteamérica se han desarrollado con el telón de fondo de la guerra, palabras beligerantes y continuas dudas de que la selección nacional reciba los visados a tiempo.
El malestar ya ha dado lugar a cumbres entre funcionarios iraníes y los máximos dirigentes del organismo rector del fútbol. En el centro de todo esto ha estado Mehdi Taj, quien durante muchos años ha sido presidente de la federación de fútbol de Irán.
En una inusual entrevista, Taj, antiguo comandante del Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica, dejó pocas dudas sobre a quién culpa de las complicaciones.
Mientras la selección nacional de Irán se preparaba para viajar a México en lugar de a Estados Unidos, un cambio de última hora que se produjo en medio de las continuas tensiones, Taj dijo que la decisión se había tomado con la FIFA para reducir al mínimo el tiempo del equipo en Estados Unidos, a quien culpa de toda la incertidumbre sobre la participación de Irán en la Copa Mundial.
Hablando por videollamada, Taj señaló que Irán había sido el tercer equipo en clasificarse para la que será la mayor Copa Mundial de la historia –que ocurrirá a lo largo de Estados Unidos, Canadá y México y en la que competirán 48 selecciones–, pero la primera en la que un anfitrión está en guerra con una de las naciones competidoras.
Esos preparativos, dijo, se han visto afectados de forma que han perjudicado a su equipo. Recientemente, la selección de fútbol de Irán cambió bruscamente su base para la Copa Mundial de Estados Unidos a Tijuana, tras las conversaciones mantenidas con la FIFA en Turquía, donde el equipo ha estado entrenando durante gran parte del mes pasado.
En declaraciones desde Teherán el martes, Taj expresó su profunda decepción por el hecho de que aún no se hubieran aprobado las solicitudes de visado para la selección, que está previsto que juegue tres partidos en la costa oeste estadounidense.
El equipo se ha estado preparando en un campamento en el suroeste de Turquía. La Copa Mundial comienza el 11 de junio, y el primer partido de Irán está previsto cuatro días después contra Nueva Zelanda en Los Ángeles. Irán tenía previsto concentrarse en Tucson, Arizona, antes de que la FIFA, el organismo que rige el fútbol mundial, anunciara que el equipo se instalaría en Tijuana, México, cerca de la frontera con Estados Unidos.
La presencia de Irán en el torneo en medio de su actual conflicto con Estados Unidos es una de las mayores crisis en los casi 100 años de historia de la Copa Mundial.

Una nación anfitriona, afirmó Taj, no debería tener autoridad para interrumpir los preparativos de los equipos clasificados. Desde que comenzó la guerra a finales de febrero, tanto funcionarios iraníes como estadounidenses, incluido el presidente Donald Trump e incluso Taj, han sembrado la incertidumbre con afirmaciones cambiantes.
Taj dijo que el asesinato del líder supremo de Irán al comienzo de la guerra y el bombardeo de una escuela en el que murieron más de cien niños habían creado una “nube de ambigüedad” sobre la participación de Irán. Pero dijo que, desde entonces, las autoridades iraníes habían mantenido conversaciones fructíferas con los dirigentes de la FIFA, incluido su presidente, Gianni Infantino, para sentar las bases de la participación del equipo.
Infantino, quien mantiene una relación cercana con Trump, viajó a Turquía en marzo para mostrar su apoyo al equipo iraní, y el mes pasado, el principal administrador de la FIFA, Mattias Grafström, también se reunió con funcionarios iraníes.
“Solo estamos en contacto con la FIFA, no con Estados Unidos, y no sabemos qué piensan”, dijo Taj.
Taj ha tenido dificultades para viajar en los últimos meses. Fue uno de los funcionarios a los que se negaron credenciales para el sorteo del torneo celebrado en Washington en diciembre. El mes pasado, las autoridades canadienses revocaron sus documentos cuando se dirigía a Vancouver vía Toronto para asistir a la reunión anual de la FIFA. Taj dijo que, tras varias horas de conversaciones con funcionarios canadienses, regresó a su país en señal de protesta con el resto de la delegación iraní.
Taj fue formalmente comandante del Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica, grupo que Estados Unidos y Canadá han designado entidad terrorista.
Dijo que él ya no tenía ninguna relación con el grupo, pero sostuvo que este contaba con un amplio apoyo en Irán para defender el país. En Canadá, dijo, él y otros miembros de la delegación iraní “pasaron el tiempo defendiendo el país” bajo el interrogatorio de funcionarios de fronteras en Toronto.

El secretario de Estado Marco Rubio dijo en una reciente comparecencia en la Casa Blanca junto a Trump que no se permitiría la entrada en Estados Unidos de entrenadores y otros funcionarios vinculados a la Guardia Revolucionaria.
Varios jugadores de la lista de Irán, incluido su capitán, han cumplido el servicio militar obligatorio con el grupo, dijo Taj.
Los problemas con los visados antes del Mundial llevaron a los iraníes, dijo Taj, a “sospechar que era posible que Estados Unidos nos creara algunos problemas graves”.
El lunes, el equipo publicó su lista oficial en un video en las redes sociales, y tiene un partido más de preparación, contra Mali, antes de su partida prevista al campamento base de México. Sardar Azmoun, un jugador estrella que suscitó críticas por una publicación en las redes sociales después de la guerra y que algunos funcionarios tacharon de desleal, se quedó fuera de la lista.
Taj habló positivamente del cambio de última hora, afirmando que Tijuana ofrecía mejores condiciones que Tucson porque estaba más cerca de Los Ángeles, donde se jugarán dos de los partidos de Irán, y tiene mejor clima y conexiones de transporte más fáciles.
Fue menos comunicativo sobre cómo se produjo el cambio. La presidenta de México, Claudia Sheinbaum, dijo que la FIFA le había pedido ayuda a su país porque “Estados Unidos no quiere que la selección iraní se quede a pernoctar en Estados Unidos”.
Taj dijo que desconocía que Estados Unidos hubiera hecho tal petición. “Llegamos a la conclusión mutua con la FIFA de que queremos que nuestra presencia en Estados Unidos sea la mínima posible”, dijo.
Para la FIFA, la crisis requiere de cuidadosas maniobras: satisfacer a un país anfitrión expectante, tranquilizar a un equipo cualificado y mantener la neutralidad política. Esa neutralidad ya ha sido cuestionada debido a la cálida relación de Infantino con Trump.
Taj dijo que, según los principios de “Fair Play” (juego limpio) de la FIFA, todas las naciones clasificadas deben recibir el mismo trato y que proteger a ese principio de las interferencias políticas era responsabilidad de la FIFA, no de Irán.
La FIFA no respondió a la solicitud de comentarios.
Cuando se le preguntó si confiaba en que se celebraría el partido inaugural, Taj no ofreció garantías.
“Tendrías que preguntarle a la FIFA”, dijo.
