Russian officials say a group of militants has attacked a police checkpoint in Russia’s North Caucasus region, killing two officers
A group of militants attacked a police checkpoint in Russia's North Caucasus region, killing two officers, officials said Monday. Four other officers were wounded and all five attackers were killed in the shootout in the Karachay-Cherkessia region late Sunday, according to the regional branch of Russia's Interior Ministry.
While Chechnya has stabilized under the rule of Moscow-backed leader Ramzan Kadyrov after two separatist wars, violence linked to Islamist groups has occasionally erupted in other parts of Russia's volatile North Caucasus. The Karachay-Cherkessia region in particular has experienced a series of raids on police by extremists.
