Two fighters of National Guard wounded in Astrakhan still remain in grave condition

Three Astrakhan fighters of the Russian “Natsgvardia” (National Guard of Russia), wounded in a shootout in Astrakhan, undergo preparations to be sent to a hospital in Moscow. Two of them stay at a resuscitation ward in a grave condition. This was reported by an official of the Department of the National Guard in the Astrakhan Region.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that today, in Astrakhan, three fighters were wounded as a result of the attack on a checkpoint of the National Guard of Russia. According to law enforcers, one of the attackers Ramzan Kukulaev, who was also suspected of shelling policemen on April 4, was killed during the attack. One more attacker died from the wound he got, and two others were killed during a special operation carried out in the Leninsky District of Astrakhan.

According to Marina Yegorova, an officer of the press service of the regional department for the National Guard of Russia, investigators consider a version of the possible connection of the people who attacked fighters of the National Guard of Russia with the "Islamic State" (IS) banned in Russia.
