| Platoon commander killed in Chechnya |
| 2005-09-19 |
 A platoon commander was wounded and later died on the way to a hospital after an armored personnel carrier hit a mine in Chechnya's Shali district, local police sources told Interfax by phone. The mine was planted at the side of the road linking Grozny and Vedeno on the limits of the Mesker-Yurt village, and detonated when an engineer platoon was combing the terrain. |
