| Two soldiers have been killed in Chechnya over the past 24 hours. "A private of the 70th motorized infantry regiment of the 42nd motorized infantry division was found dead by sentries at a checkpoint outside the village of Khatuni in Chechnya's Vedeno district, a source in the headquarters of the Combined Federal Forces in the North Caucasus told Interfax. The serviceman, presumably dispatched from Omsk Region, was shot in the head by a sniper. "Weapons and ammunition were in place and there were no traces of a fight," the source said. An interior troops serviceman, born in Lipetsk, was accidentally killed in the village of Kurchaloi, when guards patrolling an ammunition depot were practicing shooting skills. |
