High-handedness in Itum-Kali district
On November 26, a reconnaissance party went uphill from the settlement of Chinnakh, Chechnya's Itum-Kali district, to the Zumsoy village. Locals inform that the Russian servicemen rushed into the houses and behaved aggressively provoking a stampede. Thus only two families are left in Zumsoy.
About a half of the residents of the neighboring Bugaroy village have left it just the same way. Only a month before the special operation mentioned Russian servicemen badly wounded a local of Zumsoy, Vakhid Bukhayev. The attackers considered the man to be dead and threw his body out. Another Russian unit found the man, due to which the Chechen was given medical aid in time and survived.
