Concurrently, the internet saw the release of videos showcasing intense gunfire and explosions. The militants, initiating the conflict in Ingushetia, attempted to flee the encircled building by various means, including descending from windows using sheets knotted together.
As reported by Brief, the location experienced several explosions. "It's possible that up to six militants were taking cover in the apartment, with some appearing on the international most-wanted list. Investigations are underway to determine their possible connections to last year's assaults on a road police post in Kantyshev and police officers in Ziazikov-Yurt," a Telegram post stated.
