In the North Caucasian multidisciplinary medical center in Beslan, journalist Elena Milashina became ill. At first she herself walked along the corridor of the institution, but then she almost lost consciousness, and she was picked up.

“I talked with Milashina and Nemov. The woman is undergoing an examination, an MRI, she has numerous fractures. Nemov has a stab wound and also many fractures. Probably, they will be delivered to Moscow by the Ministry of Emergency Situations,” said Tamerlan Tsogoev, Ombudsman for North Ossetia.
