Today, a regime of the counterterrorist operation (CTO) has been cancelled in the village of Stary Cherek, four hours after its introduction. A house with a yard has been blocked as a part of the special operation. This was reported by a source in the law enforcement bodies.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that at 5:00 a.m., the CTO regime was introduced in the village of Stary Cherek of the Urvan District of Kabardino-Balkaria.

At 9:00 a.m., it was decided to cancel the special regime due to "lack of threats to lives, health, property, and other interests of the people protected by law," said an official from the operational headquarters of the republic.

In Stary Cherek, power agents cordoned off a house with a yard, where, according to the preliminary information, a group of members of the armed underground was hiding, the "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" reports with reference to a source in the law enforcement bodies of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic.
