The militants who attacked churches and synagogues in Dagestan also planned to attack a Shiite mosque, Dagestani Interior Minister Abdurashid Magomedov said.

According to the minister, those people who desecrated the synagogue and church in Derbent planned to do the same in a Shiite mosque.

"They did not do this only due to certain circumstances I’d prefer not to dwell on now," Magomedov said.

On June 23, a group of terrorists attacked two Orthodox churches and two synagogues in Derbent and Makhachkala. More than 20 people died, six attackers were neutralized.
