In Dagestan, three militiamen wounded in shelling

As a result of an attack on the militia unit in the Kizilyurt District of Dagestan, three militiamen were wounded.

This incident is another link in the chain of attacks on employees of law enforcement bodies in Dagestan. The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the previous crime against power agents was committed on July 24, when a road sentry policeman, who was on duty at his post, was wounded by a sniper. On that very day in Khasavyurt unknown persons shelled the house of a criminal search employee who was hospitalized with leg wounds.

Another attack on militiamen was accomplished today at about 1:00 p.m. Moscow time between the villages of Kirovaul and Chontaul, where unknown persons shelled an UAZ militia van from their automatic firearms.

As a result three employees of the Kizilyurt ROVD were wounded. "They were hospitalized, and now doctors estimate their condition as stable," the "Gazeta.Ru" quotes a source in law enforcement bodies.
