Two churches and a synagogue have come under attack in the southern Russian region of Dagestan, local police said in a statement on Sunday.
Unidentified assailants opened fire on the buildings with automatic firearms before fleeing the scene, according to a statement published on Telegram.
At least one officer was killed in the incident, the police stated, adding that the authorities are still trying to obtain more information on the casualties.
The suspects drove away in a white Volkswagen Polo, the police said, adding that they are currently searching for the vehicle.
Police officers were also attacked in Makhachkala - Dagestan's capital and the region's biggest city. An assault on a traffic police station in the city center claimed one officer's life and left six more injured, the authorities said. The shootout resulted in no civilian casualties, according to preliminary information.
A video of the incident supposedly from witnesses surfaced on social media. It shows at least
three black-clad men shooting at cars in the middle of a street. Loud gunfire can be heard in the background.
The assailants in Derbent reportedly
broke into the Orthodox church and killed a local priest by slitting his throat, said Shamil Khadulaev, the head of the regional public oversight committee which monitors the observance of human rights in prisons. Other regional authorities have not commented on this information.
The synagogue was reportedly set on fire. Videos and photos have surfaced on social media purporting to show the building engulfed in flames.
Comment: One is reminded of the strange
incident of Oct 2023, also in Dagestan, whereby 'external enemies' were accused of stoking up locals to protest an arriving Israeli passenger plane.
It's likely that the same 'external enemies' at work that day, were also behind today's attack. And reason suggests that it's the same groups
responsible for the Crocus mall massacre, which an investigation, as well as various officials, later revealed to be Ukraine, the US, and UK.
Note also that just a week or so ago there was another incident involving terrorists on Russian territory:
Russian forces storm detention centre to rescue staff held hostage, inmates were members of IS terror cellsTaken together, it seems the desperate and diabolical establishment in the West is intent on significantly escalating its hybrid war, as well as its overt provocations. Which is saying something, because sabotage on Russian soil has been an almost weekly occurrence these past few years.
However, by their warped logic it makes sense they'd feel compelled to do so, because their defeat in Ukraine is looming. More so after they, predictably, rejected Russia's generous peace proposal. And which has left Moscow with little option to but to expedite the completion of its SMO.
Below is some more footage from the scene, however note the accounts anti-Russia/anti-multipolar world bias:
