Those killed in the terrorist attacks in Dagestan will receive assistance. The defendants claimed the weapons were planted

Russian authorities will allocate over 10 million rubles in compensation to the families of those killed and injured in the terrorist attacks in Dagestan in the summer of 2024, when churches and synagogues were attacked. Over 7.8 million rubles will be allocated for payments to the families of the deceased, and over 1.8 million rubles will be allocated for those injured.

In August, at a hearing of the Southern District Military Court, six of the 11 defendants accused of involvement in these terrorist attacks pleaded not guilty (the other five were killed). Before the trial, three of the defendants, Magomed, Khalid, and Zaur Magomedov, claimed that the weapons and explosives were planted on them.

As a reminder, on June 23, 2024, in Makhachkala and Derbent, attackers attacked religious sites and police officers, resulting in the deaths of 20 people and the injury of 46 others.
