The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on December 16, law enforcers conducted a counterterrorist operation (CTO) in the village of Katar-Yurt in the Achkhoi-Martan District of Chechnya. Suspected militant Kazbek Baidulaev was killed during the CTO. Meanwhile, his name had already been mentioned among those killed on October 11.

Let us remind you that the special operation in the Achkhoi-Martan District became the third CTO in Chechnya since the early 2020. Earlier, a special operation was carried out in Grozny in October.

As a result of a shootout, four of the suspects, two fighters of the National Guard of Russia, and one policeman were killed.
