Russian government forces launch large security operation in troubled region
Russian government forces launched a large-scale security operation in a North Caucasus region Friday in response to a surge in violence and abductions there, police said. The "preventive" operation in several districts of Ingushetia by regional law-enforcement bodies together with federal interior and security forces involved stepped-up identity checks and searches for militants and their arms caches in abandoned buildings and other places, the regional Interior Ministry said.
