| Deadly violence persisted on Sunday in Chechnya, where an official said nine Russian servicemen or Chechen police were killed and 15 others wounded in the previous 24 hours. Four of the deaths came in rebel attacks on Russian position, which came under fire 19 times, the official said on condition of anonymity. Seven servicemen were wounded in those attacks, he said. Two servicemen were killed and four wounded in a clash in the southern Vedeno district that also left two rebels dead, and two elite police troops were shot dead with automatic riles in the capital, Grozny, the official said. A police officer was killed and three wounded when their patrol came under fire near Samashki, in western Chechnya, and a serviceman was wounded when the diesel locomotive of a freight train hit a mine, the official said. The locomotive was badly damaged. |
