| [RFE/RL] Four security officers and six militants have been killed in Dagestan. Local law enforcement officials say the casualties are the result of two separate counter-terror operations conducted on June 17. Preliminary investigations indicate that one of the militants killed might be Gasan Abdullayev, a commander of Islamist militants wanted since 2009 for his involvement in a series of attacks against security forces. Officials say Abdullayev was also known for publicly pledging allegiance to Daesh. |
