The shelling was carried out from the side of a checkpoint located on the outskirts of the village of Novye Atagi, at the fork in the road leading to the village of Chechen-Aul. As a result of the shelling, a UAZ passenger named Deshi was seriously wounded. The wounded woman was sent by passing transport to the Staro-Agaginsk hospital. The car was seriously damaged. The driver Dokka from the village of Shatoi was not injured.

Apparently, the military suspected something was wrong in this maneuver and opened fire to kill.
