A suicide bombing at a checkpoint in Russia’s Chechnya region wounded six police officers, the local police department said.
The blast ripped through a checkpoint in Chechnya’s capital city Grozny at around 7 am local time (04:00 GMT).
"Today, police officers prevented two armed men carrying grenades and explosives from entering through Checkpoint No138 on the Grozny outskirts. Preliminary data suggests that six officers were wounded, two of them severely, in an attempt to liquidate [the militants]," Sputnik cited the statement as saying.
One of the attackers was able to detonate an explosive, while the second was killed before he could trigger a second explosion.
