In the capital of Chechnya, Grozny, one operative of the Federal Security Service died and further five were wounded in the course of an operation to detain militants, a source in Chechnya's Interior Ministry told RIA Novosti.

"On the day before, at 4:00 p.m., in the Staropromyslovsky district of Grozny, in the course of a special operation to detain them, members of an illegal armed formation put up armed resistance," the agency's source said.

He said that as a result, an FSB operative was killed, and five others were injured and hospitalised.

"By return fire, two militants were killed, their identities are being established," the agency's source indicated. The source also said that a Kalashnikov rifle, a grenade and ten rounds of ammunition of 5.45 mm calibre were found on the scene of action.

The killed militants belonged to the bandit group of so-called "Grozny emir" Mashugov, who was liquidated in December.
