15 Russians killed in Chechnya
Fifteen Russian soldiers and policemen were killed in attacks by Chechen rebels on Friday, an official in the Kremlin-backed Chechen civilian administration said on Saturday. Five of the deaths came when Russian military positions came under rebel fire, 10 others were killed in ambushes and clashes and one was killed when a soldier detonated a booby-trap. Russian artillery in return shelled suspected rebel positions in four sectors of Chechnya, said the official. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-08-31 |
