Dagestan: Martyr attacked Russian military base and killed or injured dozens of invaders

A martyr attacked a base of Russian invaders on Sunday night in the town of Temir Khan Shura (AKA Buinaksk) in the Caucasus Emirate's province of Dagestan, occupation sources report.

According to invaders, the martyr drove an explosive-packed car. According to a Russian version, it rammed the gate of the base and detonated there.

According to another Russian version, the vehicle broke through the cordon at the Dalniy Firing Ground, where Russian occupiers have a military campsite. The car exploded in the middle of this military camp.

Officials of the puppet "interior ministry of Dagestan" told news agencies that the martyr in a mined car rammed at high speed the security checkpoint, located at the entrance to a military base of the Russian 136 motorized infantry division, which is deployed in the city.

The occupation sources, as always in such cases, report conflicting and scanty information about the incident.

It is reported that 5 Russian invaders were killed and 39 injured as a result of martyrdom attack. 6 occupiers are reported to be in a serious condition. According to Russians, 3 their soldiers were killed on the spot and 2 others later died of wounds in a hospital.

Initially, the invaders claimed that only killed 3 their military officers soldiers were killed and other 20 were wounded. .

In his turn, an AP correspondent Arsen Mollayev with reference to a spokesman of the puppet "interior ministry gang", Gusanov, reported about 5 killed and 40 wounded Russian soldiers in the explosion that took place about 1 a.m. (2100 GMT Saturday) at the base in the city of Buinaksk, when the driver of an explosives-laden small "Lada" car smashed through the gate of the base and headed for an area where soldiers are quartered in tents.

The attack came almost exactly 11 years after a car bomb outside an apartment building in Buinaksk housing the families of military officers killed 64 people, said the agency.

However, judging by the explosive power (up to 100 kg TNT) and the fact that the car managed to break into the territory of the campsite, casualties among the invaders are probably much higher. It is to be mentioned thereupon that the invaders are always greatly underestimate their casualties for propaganda purposes .

On Sunday morning, the occupants adjusted their version of events and said that the outpost had allegedly managed to prevent much higher casualties, because fire was opened on the car and martyr failed to reach the center of the campsite.

An Agence France-Presse correspondent, Maria Panina, reported from Dagestan with reference to Gusanov that a crater with a diameter of 3 meters was created as a result of the explosion.

"Attacks and shooting each time becoming more frequent in the North Caucasus, where the pro-Moscow authorities in various predominantly Muslim regions struggle against Islamist guerrillas who are increasingly increasing their influence. However Putin has denied in his recent statement that there could be a "new war" in the Caucasus", said the French agency.

Meanwhile, occupation sources also report about another explosion in the Temir Khan Shura area of Dagestan. A police convoy driving to the explosion site at the Russian military base was blown up.

It was a roadside bomb explosion. Russian occupation sources report no information about casualties among the policemen. According to a version voiced by a so-called "investigations unit", the second explosive device was went off incompletely, which saved lives of the policemen. The second bomb was filled with nuts, bolts and other killing components.

Meanwhile, the puppet ringleader of Dagestan, Magomedov, commenting on another martyrdom operation of the Mujahideen, said that the attack "had shown that the underground in Dagestan is still powerful".

The ringleader complained that, despite sensitive losses, the Mujahideen were not weakened and continue to deliver heavy blows on the Russian invaders and their local henchmen.
