Dagestan: number of shootouts and special operations reaches 29 since beginning of 2016

In Dagestan, the today's operations carried out by law enforcers on the territories of the Suleiman-Stalsky, Derbent, and Tabasaran District have become the first operations in June. Since the beginning of the year, the total number of special operations and shootouts reaches at least 29. Of them, 14 special operations were carried out in areas of Southern Dagestan.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the death toll includes seven suspected militants and four law enforcers. At least seven law enforcers were wounded.

Meanwhile, during the past five months, in Dagestan, law enforcers carried out at least 26 special operations and shootouts, of which 11 took place in Southern Dagestan. In the course of all those incidents, 24 suspected militants were killed and another was wounded. One law enforcer was killed, and 21 others were wounded. Besides, one civilian was wounded. Thus, in total, since the beginning of the year, in Dagestan, in the course of shootouts and special operations, 31 suspected militants were killed and another was wounded. Five law enforcers were killed, and other 28 were wounded.

Experts in the Caucasus interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" associated the worsening of the conflict in Southern Dagestan with active actions of the authorities to suppress the Salafi community.

In 2015, in Dagestan, 57 armed incidents were registered which affected 150 people. Of them, 123 people were killed and 27 others were wounded. The death toll includes 94 suspected members of illegal armed formations (IAFs), 13 law enforcers, and 16 civilians. These are the results of the calculations run by the "Caucasian Knot" based on its own materials and information from other open sources.
