The shooting in the village of Ameterkmakhi has become the first armed incident in Dagestan within 32 days. The previous incident was the counterterrorist operation (CTO) conducted in the Buynaksk District.

Earlier, on April 22, policemen were shelled when they were trying to detain two men in Kizlyar. No one was injured. Both attackers were taken to a police station.
