In Khasavyurt, an owner of a blocked house with his wife and two militants were killed. This was reported by a source from the law enforcement agencies. According to the source, one of the alleged members of the underground was suspected in the assassination of Musa Islavov, a people's deputy of Dagestan.

On Thursday morning, in Khasavyurt, law enforcers have blocked a house, in which, according to them, members of illegal armed formations (IAFs) were hiding. A woman, who came out of the house and opened fire, was killed. When offered to surrender, four persons, who remained in the house, answered in negative; however, they allowed children to leave the house. In the afternoon, the active phase of the special operation was started.

At present, no casualties among law enforcers are reported.

In the morning, according to the preliminary information, Ruzanna Ibragimova was killed. She was a widow of Tural Ataev, whom the law enforcers consider to be the leader of the "Khasavyurt" terrorist grouping and who was killed a month ago in the village of Pervomaiskoe.
