| Six Russian soldiers were killed and 11 others wounded in Chechnya in the past 24 hours, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported early on Saturday. An unnamed pro-Moscow Chechen official told the media outlet that four soldiers were killed and nine wounded when their positions came under fire by Chechen rebels. He said Russian positions had come under attack 17 times since early on Friday. One soldier died of injuries sustained when a land mine exploded late on Friday in Kharatchoi, near the southeastern town of Vedeno. Another Russian soldier died while trying to defuse a mine near Guekhitchou, southwest of Grozny. In Grozny, the capital, the body of a pro-Russian Chechen policeman was found on Saturday in Minoutka Square. |
