A Russian soldier who was set to shortly be redeployed to Ukraine has been arrested after allegedly starting a fire in a nightclub that killed 13 people.
Stanislav Ionkin, 23, had recently returned from the frontline after being injured by shelling, but was due to report back to his unit this month, according to the Russian Baza news agency.
He is suspected of setting off fireworks in the Polygon nightclub in the town of Kostroma in central Russia on Friday evening, starting a blaze that went on to kill at least 13 people.
Video posted on Telegram showed security forces arresting Mr Ionkin and marching him into a police station for interrogation.
