 Four border guards were wounded when unknown assailants opened fire with a grenade-launcher on their barracks in Ingushetia, the border guards service said Tuesday. A grenade fired from a handheld anti-tank grenade-launcher late Monday hit the sleeping quarters of a border guard detachment in Nazran, said Sergei Livantsov, the border guards' spokesman in the North Caucasus. Police, Interior Ministry troops and border guards launched a joint operation Tuesday, which Livantsov said was indirectly connected with the overnight attack. Itar-Tass said the forces were verifying residents' identification documents in three districts of Ingushetia. |
