MIA: store in Makhachkala was attacked by three

The explosion of the store "24 Hours" in Makhachkala killed one person and wounded two, Dagestani investigators report. The local Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) has data about one casualty – a security of the store, and one wounded store seller. The attack was committed by three unidentified persons.

Let us remind you that the explosion in the store was reported by a reader of the "Caucasian Knot" by means of the SMS-service. The bomb was triggered in the store "24 Hours", located in the corner of Kotrov and Yaragsky Streets at about 11:30 a.m. Moscow time.

According to the MIA, the above three criminals entered the store and opened fire at the seller and the security. Then, they installed an improvised explosive device (IED) inside the store and fled in a car. A few minutes later an explosion occurred.

Earlier it was reported that, according to one of the versions, the reason for the explosion could be the refusal of the store owner to pay tribute to militants.

Let us note here that the store "24 Hours" was blown up also in August this year. Then, 16 people suffered. Investigators found that earlier its owners received threats from unidentified persons.
