Poliisin mukaan aseistautuneet militantit Dagestanin Pohjois-Kaukasian tasavallassa ovat surmanneet kuusi poliisia useissa hyökkäyksissä. Venäjän valtiollinen uutistoimisto RIA Novosti kertoo, että aseistautuneet hyökkääjät iskivät kahteen ortodoksiseen kirkkoon, synagogaan ja liikennepoliisin tarkastuspisteeseen Etelä-Venäjällä. Hyökkäyksissä on myös raportoitu papin ja kuuden lainvalvojan kuolemista. Yhteenkoordinoitujen iskujen motiivit ja tekijät ovat toistaiseksi epäselvät.
Sunneissa tapahtui koordinoitu sarja hyökkäyksiä uskonnollisia kohteita vastaan Pohjois-Kaukasian alueella, erityisesti Venäjän Dagestanissa. Aseistautuneet ampuivat synagogaa ja kirkkoa Derbentissä sekä poliisiasemaa Makhachkalassa. Aseistautuneet hyökkääjät käyttivät automaattiaseita ja aiheuttivat paniikkia sekä kauhua alueen asukkaiden keskuudessa.
