"Purges" in Kurchaloy district of Chechnya

Large-scale special operations have been conducted in the Kurchaloy district of the republic for several days without a break. They were most likely caused by the killing of five officers of Akhmad Kadyrov's security service that was committed by unknown people in the village of Alleroy on January 31.

To remind, then about 10 people in masks rushed into the house where the platoon commander, Sultan Dadayev, and his four subordinates were and shot them dead from the automatic. The attackers have not been detained so far. There is information that several young men have been detained in the course of the recent special operations in the Kurchaloy district. Their names are being established.
