KBR’s Muftiate urges to objectively investigate CTO in Nalchik

The counterterrorist operation (CTO) with the killing of five people has caused great concerns in the Muslim Ummah, the Muftiate of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR) has stated calling to conduct an objective inquiry into the incident.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on July 3 in Nalchik, and then in Baksan, a CTO regime was introduced. The Russian National Antiterrorist Committee (NAC) announced that in the course of the CTO, five militants were killed in Nalchik and in the vicinity of the village of Baksanenok. According to the journalist, Nadezhda Kevorkova, prior to the CTO, all the five casualties were kidnapped.

“The event that took place in the republic on July 3, 2021, left no one indifferent. Five KBR residents were killed. Different versions of the incident appear on the Internet and in social networks, which contribute to the dissemination of all sorts of provocative information," the republic’s Spiritual Administration of Muslims (SAM, or Muftiate) has stated in its Instagram page.

The SAM has noted that "the incident caused great concerns in the Muslim Ummah of the republic," and called on Kazbek Kokov, the head of the KBR, and Nikolai Khabarov, the KBR’s Public Prosecutor, to take the case under their personal control "for an objective and impartial inquiry into the incident."
