In the city of Urus-Martan, at the intersection of Sovetskaya Street and Andreeva Street, an armored personnel carrier hit and crushed a Zhiguli car (the armored vehicle actually drove over it). Shamsuddin Ibrisov, born in 1937, who was driving, died, and two more people were injured.

On September 22 and 23, military personnel, presumably army intelligence officers, committed riots in the village of Eshilkhatoy. The reason for the retaliatory action, according to them, was the recent attack by militants on a Russian armored column.

At 9 o'clock in Grozny on Montazhnaya Street (RTS district), 28-year-old Leila Ismailova, a native of the village of Chiri-Yurt, died due to indiscriminate shooting opened by the Russian military (sappers). The girl's mother, Belita Ismailova, was wounded.

The head of the Kurchaloevsky District Department of Internal Affairs, Salman Abuev, born in 1962, resident of the village of Alleroi, was killed.

At about 6 o'clock, members of the WF of the ChRI (up to 400 people) entered the city of Gudermes. The main group apparently came from the Druzhba state farm. However, according to local residents, some arrived by car along the Rostov-Baku highway.

From September 16 to 22, a “cleansing” operation was carried out in the village of Kurchaloy. On the very first day, the Russian military discovered a large number of hidden weapons. Among those found was an Igla MANPADS.

From September 15 to September 17 inclusive, a “cleanup” was carried out in the village of Tsotsin-Yurt. The Russian military has set up headquarters on the territory of a former tractor brigade, which recently housed a car repair station.

About an hour in the courtyard of the house of Movlda Baudinovich Umaev, born in 1958, living in the village of Goiskoye, a noise was heard. One of his two sons, Alikhan, looked out the window and saw the barrel of a machine gun pointed in his direction.
