Data on special operation in Ingushetia is contradictory

The data about the course of the special operation conducted in Ingushetia, as presented by various sources, are highly different. The count of casualties and details are unknown. According to the latest information, four militiamen were lost.

It is known that in the micro-district "Tsentr-Kamaz" of Nazran power agents had blocked a private house owned by the Tsitskiev family. During the skirmish power agents suffered losses, then the house was blown up; probably, it could be a self-explosion.

By preliminary data, the house was stuffed with explosive in equivalent of 70 kg of trotyl.

Four employees of law enforcement bodies were killed, also two more wounded. The PR group of the FSB Department for Ingushetia has reported that under preliminary data, there were 4-5 militants inside the house, as the ITAR-TASS reports.

At the same time, according to the "Interfax-Yug" Agency, which refers to the Headquarters of the United Army Grouping in Northern Caucasus, in the course of the fight three militiamen were wounded. Earlier it was reported that in the skirmish one employee of the Department of the FSB for Ingushetia was killed and up to six other were wounded.

There are two destroyed ATCs (armoured troop-carriers) and one "Ural" truck in the clash venue.

Now, a group of sappers is examining the place, then, inspectors of the Investigatory Committee will take the floor. Also, a great number of ambulances have arrived, which deliver wounded persons to the Republic's Hospital.

The "Ingushetia.Org" reports that President of Ingushetia Yunus-Bek Evkurov has arrived to the venue of the special operation.

A source in power agencies has reported that, probably, those three terrorists were killed, who had been earlier reported as searched.

On February 6, at the meeting in Magas, President of Ingushetia said that law enforcement bodies of Ingushetia were searching three suicide bombers, who had arrived in the Republic for committing a large-scale terrorist act.

  • Compensation decrease for illegal prosecution violates rights of KBR resident

    The court ruling, which awarded Madin Gubzhokov compensation of 30,000 roubles for unlawful criminal prosecution, is incomparable with the moral harm caused by the actions of Azamat Kyaov, a former law enforcer. The amount is ridiculous and should be appealed against, lawyers and human rights defenders have stated.
