In Ingushetia, special operation goes on and brings casualties
The skirmish between the agents of the Department of the FSB (DFSB) of the Russian Federation for Ingushetia and, presumably, militants who made their ambush in one of private houses in Ordzhonikidzevskaya village, Sunzha District, continues, as the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told by a source in law enforcement bodies. Local residents say that more than 10 power agents were wounded and killed.
The website "Ingushetia.Org" writes that an URAL truck was damaged from a grenade launcher. Apart from military URALs and ATCs (armoured troop carriers), ambulances and fire-fighting units were brought to the venue.
We remind you that several hours earlier, at about 3:00 p.m., in Ordzhonikidzevskaya, a militiaman Ichiev from local ROVD was heavily wounded in explosion of his VAZ-2114 car.
Also, as the source has reported, in Ekazhevo village, Nazran District, another attack on a law enforcer was accomplished. Opposite to the central rural mosque, an unidentified person shelled a car with Bashir Aushev, chief of the UBEP (department to fight economic crime) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of Ingushetia, from a sub-machine gun. The incident took place at about 6:50 p.m. As a result of shelling, Mr Aushev was brought to hospital with gunshot wounds.
