| SEVEN Russian soldiers and a policeman have been killed over the past 24 hours in the Russian republic of Chechnya, a local official for the Russian-backed administration has said. Three soldiers were killed and two wounded during one of 10 attacks against Russian military outposts and camps by Chechen separatist rebels, the official said. Another three soldiers were killed when their truck exploded after driving over a landmine before plunging into a ravine on a road linking Serjen-Yurt and Vendeno in the south of the republic. In the capital, Grozny, a Chechen policeman was killed in a clash with separatist rebels. In another firefight in the village of Cim-Cir, near Nojai-Yurt in the south-east, a Russian soldier was wounded and two rebels wounded. |
