At least seven Russian soldiers and a police officer have been killed in separate attacks by Chechen rebels. The news was reported by unidentified sources in the Russian nominated Chechen government, according to which all the victims lost their lives in ambushes. In one case, in the vicinity of Nozhai-Yurt, two Russian troops died as they prepared to throw a hand grenade at rebels, when the grenade blew up in their hands. |
