On the night of July 31, residents of Kaspiysk reported explosions near the seaport, which serves as the base for the Caspian Flotilla. Russian authorities have not officially commented on reports of a possible attack on the port. That same night, Ukrainian drones also struck other Russian regions.
The FSB's Public Relations Center has released a video of the murder scene of two Dagestani residents in the Karabudakhkent district.
Yesterday, security forces reported that the two "militants" were planning attacks on a railway station and a religious site, "but were killed while attempting to resist arrest."
The Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case under articles of the Criminal Code for attempted murder of law enforcement officers and illegal arms trafficking.
According to the FSB, the men killed during their arrest were members of an "international terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation" and were planning "acts of sabotage and terrorism."
"Firearms, ammunition, and an improvised explosive device were found at the scene, which was defused by bomb disposal experts. Extremist literature and symbols of the terrorist organization, confirming their criminal intent, were confiscated from the residences of these individuals,” the department’s press service reported.
