| Guess that’ll make it 1,498 ... Two rebels have been killed in Chechnya’s Vedenskiy District, the regional operational headquarters in the North Caucasus have reported. "Yesterday, not far from the village of Ersenoy in Vedenskiy District in a wooded mountainous area, two rebel fighters were located and killed thanks to directions from local residents," an official from the headquarters said. He said that the rebel fighters did not have any documents with them. "Two Kalashnikov assault rifles, a Makarov pistol, an underbarrel grenade launcher and 10 rounds of ammunition for it, as well as eight F-1 grenades, over 500 cartridges, a land mine based on an 82-mm mine and a radio set were found at the scene after a short exchange of fire," the source said. He also said that initial reports indicated that the rebel fighters had gone out to set up the mine and were waiting for federal forces. "However, they were killed as a result of the well-coordinated actions of the law-enforcement bodies," the source said. |
