| A clash in the village of Chechen Aul between Russian troops and militants left one militant dead and one wounded. According to the local police station, the skirmish took place during a federal operation to find rebels and weapons, which has been carried out in this settlement for three days now. During the arrest, three rebels opened fire at federal servicemen. One militant managed to escape. No casualties among Russian troops have been reported. Another 13 people have been arrested during the operation. Their involvement in militant activities is currently being investigated. We hope the process is very painful. |
