According to Russian news reports, a mobile group of Mujahideen attacked
in the Maskhadov district (former Staropromyslovsky district) of the Chechen
capital of Jokhar a Russian military convoy with police mercenaries from the
Russian-held Siberian region on Khakasia late Friday, December 1, 2006. The
invaders claim that only the Russian commander of the group has been severely
wounded in the attack.
In addition, another Russian military convoy of a gang of so-called "Russian interior ministry" has
been attacked with small arms, also on
Friday, on a highway on the outskirts of the Chechen town of Gudermes. The invaders claim that only one of
commanders of police mercenaries from the Khabarovsk
region, a territory in the Russian-held Pacific Far-Eastern areas , has been
wounded in the action.
It is very difficult to receive information about the real extent and
nature of Russian casualties in Chechnya
because the Russians regard it as a military secret.
