In June, 94 people fell victims to armed conflict in Northern Caucasus

At least 94 persons suffered from the armed conflict in Northern Caucasus in June 2012. Of them, 52 persons perished and 42 were wounded. These are the results of calculations of the "Caucasian Knot", based on its own materials and information from open sources.

The figures cannot indicate the number of victims with absolute precision, because not all the data gets into news reports. It is not always possible to check how true the statements of law enforcement bodies are.

Dagestan is in the lead by the number of victims. Last month, about 38 persons suffered there: 28 persons were killed and 10 persons more were wounded.

In the course of special operations against members of illegal armed formations (IAFs), as well as in terror acts and attacks, at least 11 employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) and other power agencies were killed; 7 more employees received injuries of varying gravity.
