As Ukrinform reported, earlier in the North Caucasian Republic of Ingushetia, which is part of the Russian Federation, a group of six local rebels engaged into a firefight with the Russian FSB unit. On Saturday night, Russian security forces attempted to apprehend the group in a high-rise apartment block in the city of Karabulak. In response, the group opened fire.
