The counter-terrorism operation (CTO) regime was introduced on March 31 in the Leninsky and Sovetsky districts of Makhachkala and in Kaspiysk, bordering Makhachkala. Before this, according to security forces, information was received about the whereabouts of armed people involved in terrorist activities.
