[KavkazUzel] Two militants were killed during a CTO by security forces in a forest near the village of Talgi. In the village, classes at the school have been canceled, there is an accumulation of military equipment, and the entrance to the village and the exit from it are blocked, local residents said.
As the "Caucasian Knot " has reported, in the Buinaksk region of Dagestan, in connection with information about the movement of militants at 04.55 Moscow time on September 10, a counterterrorist operation (CTO) regime was introduced. The National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) has reported the killing of two militants .
According to the NAC, the counter-terrorist operation in the Buinaksk region takes place within the borders between the Zauzunbash, Miskinbash and Sanatorskaya mountains. The village of Talgi is included in the urban district "the city of Makhachkala" and is located on the territory surrounded by the lands of the Buinaksk region, follows from the information on the website of the local administration.
The security forces killed the militants during the CTO in a forest, not far from the Makhachkala village of Talgi, where the location of the special operation was displaced. There was no sound of gunfire, but in the morning the entrance and exit from the village were blocked, said one of the local residents .
"They are not letting anyone in or out now. Classes at school have been canceled. What is the reason, they did not explain. But now a large number of military equipment UAZ, Ural, armored personnel carriers have entered the village," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
He also clarified that the security forces do not enter the villagers' houses.
The accumulation of military equipment is also observed around the village of Talgi, said another local resident.
"They drove in at about 6 am. They cordoned off everything. The entrance to the village was closed, they were allowed to leave for some time, but whether it is possible now, I do not know," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
The situation inside the Talgi village is relatively calm, he added. “The only thing is that classes at the school were canceled. The teachers were returned home, and the children were told not to come,” the villager said.
Before the special operation, local residents were warned that the CTO regime could last up to two days, he added.
Recall that according to the NAC, the security forces offered the killed militants to lay down their arms and surrender, and they opened fire in response. Weapons, ammunition and an improvised bomb were found at the scene of the shootout, the department informed.
[THEGUARDIAN] Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said they had made progress toward integrating the two countries’ economies during a summit on Thursday evening in advance of massive joint military exercises.
Speaking late on Thursday, Putin said the two leaders had agreed to coordinate the countries’ macroeconomic policies, institute common tax and customs measures, and harmonise other financial controls as part of a 28-point roadmap that is expected to increase Russia’s influence over its neighbour.
The countries will move to integrate their energy markets while maintaining steeply discounted supplies of natural gas to Belarus, and Russia will provide a further $630m in loans to the cash-strapped Belarusian government, Putin said.
The texts of the agreements were not made available and the leaders did not sign any documents publicly. While the two sides announced new economic agreements, they stopped short of introducing a common currency or going into detail on any defence or political agreements, signalling a limit to the extent of the negotiations.
Lukashenko, who has been sanctioned by the west for a brutal crackdown on the country’s opposition, has been seen as resisting pressure from Moscow to concede control over government policy in exchange for Russian support.
