This was stated in the operational headquarters of the region.

As RIA Novosti reports, the operational headquarters during the operational-search activities within the framework of the CTO received information about the location of the members of the gang in the village of Zyazikov-Yurt of the Malgobek district.

"When trying to detain them, they resisted and opened fire on law enforcement officers with automatic weapons," the operational staff reports.

Earlier it became known that in the Malgobek district of Ingushetia in the zone of the counter-terrorist operation (CTO) there is a clash.

On April 3, the Department of the FSB of Russia for Ingushetia introduced the KTO regime in the territory of the Malgobek district.

The decision was made to stop terrorist attacks and crimes of a terrorist nature.
