A Russian soldier in Crimea opened fire on his colleagues, killing one and wounding another, before shooting at civilians and killing three, an official said.

Three other people were wounded, said Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian-appointed governor of Sevastopol. He said the attacker had been arrested, Reuters reported.

There is no information about the motive for the attack.

"All circumstances and causes of the incident are being determined," Razvozhayev said, urging citizens to remain calm and not spread rumors.
