| Three border guards on duty in North Ossetia, an internal republic of Russia in the North Caucasus, were wounded in an assault when they were heading for their patrolling position at 1:50 a.m. on Tuesday. The Vladikavkaz border unit told Interfax that three persons wearing masks assaulted the border guards stabbing two of them and hitting the third on the head. They took away two assault rifles with ammunition and fled. The incident occurred in the area of Kurtata gorge from which mountain paths run to Ingushetia and Chechnya as well as South Ossetia and Georgia. |
