CHERMEN, Russia - In coordinated attacks, heavily-armed militants attacked police headquarters, border checkpoints and government offices in a Russian region bordering warring Chechnya, authorities said Tuesday. At least 22 people were killed, including three high-ranking officials, and dozens were wounded.
The fighters seized the Interior Ministry in Nazran, the largest city in Ingushetia, and attacked the border guards’ headquarters there as well as in two villages near Chechnya shortly before midnight Monday, emergency officials said.
The Ingush medical center said that 59 injured people were hospitalized and 16 of them had died. The ITAR-Tass news agency, citing law enforcement officials, said five of the dead were policemen.
