| Five Russian soldiers were killed and four others wounded in various combat incidents this weekend in the war-torn southern province of Chechnya, a source in the Kremlin-backed Chechen administration told foreign news agency. Two soldiers died and two more were wounded in one exchange, while the body of another soldier apparently shot by a sniper was found near the village of Khatumi, the source said. In a separate incident on a highway outside the provincial capital, Grozny, a jeep carrying Russian soldiers came under fire, leaving one dead and another wounded. In Khatumi on Saturday, a grenade explosion left one soldier dead and a second wounded, the source said. |
