Two men shot at soldiers on a Russian military firing range near Ukraine on Saturday, killing 11 and wounding 15 before being slain themselves, the Russian Defence Ministry said. The ministry said in a statement the shooting took place in the Belgorod region in southwestern Russia that borders Ukraine. The ministry called the incident a terrorist attack. Putin said on Friday that over 220,000 reservists already had been called up as part of an effort to recruit 300,000. Russian media reports said some of those who were mobilized were sent to combat without receiving proper training and were quickly killed.
