Two sailors of Russian Black Sea Fleet injured in drunken row, say Sevastopol prosecutors

Two servicemen of the Russian Black Sea Fleet sustained gunshot wounds in a drunken row with another sailor.

The attacker, also a Russian citizen, has been declared wanted, a spokesman for the Sevastopol Prosecutor's Office told Interfax-Ukraine on Tuesday.

The sailors, all aged around 25 years old, got into a row as they drank alcoholic beverages in Zakharov Square of Sevastopol last night, the spokesman said. One of them fired his Makarov pistol at the two others.

"Their injuries are not life-threatening," the spokesman said.

The attacker fled after the incident. The police are searching for him at the moment.

Interfax-Ukraine has been informed that the sailors belong to the crew of the Black Sea Fleet's ship Pytlivy.

The investigation into the attack will be handled by Russia.
