On February 26-March 4, there were no victims of armed conflict in Northern Caucasus

During the week from February 26 to March 4, 2018, there were no casualties or wounded persons in the armed conflict in Northern Caucasus. These are the results of the calculations run by the "Caucasian Knot" based on its own materials and information from other open sources.

Special and counterterrorist operations

On March 1, law-enforcers blocked with "Ural" military vehicles several streets in the village of Dolakovo in the Nazran District of Ingushetia, where documentation and Islamic literature were checked at the Hafiz School (where reciters of the Koran by heart are trained). Pupils' parents and other villagers grouped at the school, but no one was let inside.

On March 4, the Tsumadin District of Dagestan was put under the counter-terrorist operation (CTO) regime: law enforcers are searching for members of the armed underground and their helpers.

Detentions

On February 27, in the Tersk District of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR), inspectors of the road-and-patrol service (known as the DPS) stopped a car driven by a 62-year-old resident of the Mineralovodsky District of the Stavropol Territory. The man said that he was driving from the village of Elkhotovo (North Ossetia) to the village of Planovskoe (KBR). During the inspection of the car, inspectors found objects similar to cartridges. Later examination showed that the objects were live ammunition fit for shooting.

On March 2, on suspicion of attacking the police post located at the entrance to the settlement of Kalininsky of the Mozdok District, two residents, aged 23 and 25 years, of the village of Kizlyar of the Mozdok District were detained. During the search of their houses, drugs and weapons were confiscated, which had been used during the above attack.

On March 3, law enforcers detained a resident of Ingushetia, suspected of trading in arms. During the search of his house, a Kalashnikov submachine gun, five grenades, mines and cartridges were found. The detainee may be involved in the sale of pistols, converted for firing live ammunition, grenades and more than 500 cartridges.
