Six residents of Chechnya's Assinovskaya village were killed and seven others wounded when the GAZ-53 truck in which they were travelling hit a landmine, a source with the headquarters of the Russian Combined Federal Forces in the North Caucasus reported on Thursday. "The explosion happened at about 4:30 p.m. Moscow time on Wednesday. The locals were returning home to Assinovskaya, which is in the Achkhoi-Martan district, after collecting ramson money," the source said. The truck's driver suffered a concussion. The incident occurred when the truck was leaving a forest near the village. Law enforcement agencies are searching for those responsible for the blast.
