KIEV, Ukraine – A member of Ukraine’s ultra-nationalist Right Sector party opened fire late Monday night in a city center cafe, wounding Deputy Mayor Bogdan Dubas and two members of the country’s national self defense units.

The attack occurred near Kiev’s Dniepr Hotel, the administrative headquarters of the Right Sector. The self defense units are an auxiliary security force made up of former Maidan fighters supported by the Ukranian government.

“The gunman burst into the cafe and opened fire before barricading himself in one of the restaurant’s rooms. He later escaped to the Dniepr Hotel before being taken into custody by the police,” acting Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said in an official statement.

Avakov later ordered the hotel to be sealed and the group’s offices vacated. A standoff between the Right Sector and interior ministry troops, backed by national self defense units, continued until early Tuesday morning.
