In 2017, the today's attack on policemen near the village of Roshni-Chu in the Urus-Martan District was preceded by at least one attack on law enforcers' checkpoints in Chechnya.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that tonight, a police checkpoint was attacked. Both assailants were killed. They were identified as Akhmed Chakhkiev, a 36-year-old resident of Ingushetia, and Adam Tsutsaev, a 31-year-old resident of the Altai Territory, reported the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) for Chechnya. One of the attackers threw a grenade to the policemen, while the second opened fire from a pistol.

Six militants were also killed. The terrorist organization "Islamic State" (IS), banned in Russia, claimed responsibility for the attack.
