| Six Russian soldiers and a Chechen fighter have been killed since 2 February in fighting in Chechnya. AFP quoted an unidentified official with the pro-Russian Chechen administration as saying that three soldiers were killed during a series of attacks by Chechen separatists. Two other soldiers were killed when their vehicle was attacked near the village of Alkhan-Yurt in southeastern Chechnya. The sixth fatality was a member of the Vostok Battalion, composed of Chechens under Russian command. He died in clashes with rebels in the southeast. A Chechen guerrilla was also killed in the clashes. |
