Today, Karachay-Cherkessia commemorates the 69th anniversary of the return of the Karachay people, deported by Joseph Stalin during the Soviet era. This momentous event occurred on May 3, 1957, when the first train carrying Karachays returning to their historical homeland arrived at the autonomous republic's railway station.
On the night of June 26, an explosion occurred near the North Caucasus Police College on Mutaliyev Street in the Ingush city of Nazran. There were no injuries.
The explosion of an improvised explosive device caused minor damage to the building's façade, damaged paving slabs, and burned an advertising banner.
The regional Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that materials and items of operational and investigative interest were seized from the scene, and measures are being taken to establish the circumstances of the incident and the identities of the bombers. Police representatives emphasized that the college is not affiliated with the department's educational system; it is a private institution of secondary vocational education.
The college itself denies the explosion, claiming that a small fire occurred, which destroyed a poster with information for applicants.
