in 2022 thwarted an attempt to commit a terrorist attack. It was prepared by two residents of the republic in the city of Baksan. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the KBR, Vasily Pavlov, during his report to the regional parliament on March 23.

In addition, according to the minister, last year seven members of a clandestine terrorist cell were detained on the territory of the republic, planning a series of terrorist attacks. Another 25 people were also detained for committing crimes of a terrorist nature, and another 16 people were detained for extremism.

In connection with the increase in the volume of work of the unit for combating terrorism and extremism in Kabardino-Balkaria, they plan to increase its staffing, the minister stressed.

"Today, the number of personnel of the anti-extremism unit allows us to withstand the load, but, understanding what is happening, the geopolitical situation, we are well aware that the unit needs to be developed, expanded, and we will definitely deal with this," Pavlov said.

As REGNUM reported, in October 2022, a sabotage and terrorist act was prevented in Kabardino-Balkaria. Near the railway bridge across the canal named after V. I. Lenin near the village of Soldatskaya in the Prokhladnensky district of the republic, two citizens were found who were installing an explosive device under the railway bed. In an attempt to resist the terrorists were liquidated, their accomplice was detained.
