| At least one person was killed during a bomb attack on a liquor store on Friday in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan. An unidentified security official said the store may have come under attack because it sold alcohol. He said, "It is not the first time that this store has been bombed. The first time it happened was on August 3." An unidentified person entered the store, shot the security guard and left the bomb inside the premises, the official said. The attacker later detonated the bomb by mobile phone. The Investigative Committee said two other people were wounded in the explosion, which completely destroyed the store.
