refused to stop their vehicle on request, according to law enforcement sources.
The men were reportedly preparing a terrorist attack. "[Officers] shot two suspected terrorists driving a Daewoo Nexia," a law enforcement source told RIA Novosti news agency.
A third suspect has been detained, Interfax news agency reported, citing its own police source. The area had reportedly been put on lockdown for several hours during the operation.
"Earlier today, three men who were driving a white Daewoo Nexia gave armed resistance [to law enforcement] in the Tsvety residential complex. As a result, two were eliminated and one was arrested,
" the source said. Officers reportedly opened fire on the suspects after they
threw a grenade at them, TASS reported, citing another source close to the operation. "Police chased the Daewoo Nexia, which, according to our information, was being driven by members of illegal armed groups. When they noticed that they were being pursued, one of the suspects threw a grenade towards the police car. After this, the officers opened fire at the Daewoo Nexia," the source said.
According to TASS news agency, security service officers also
defused a suspicious object, presumably an explosive device, which was in the suspects' car. "An anti-mine robot destroyed a suspicious object that was in the car," a source told the agency, without specifying the nature of the object, adding that police had tried to stop the car for a check, but the driver refused to stop and attempted to flee.
