For the second time after a conflict in Manas, law enforcers are conducting a raid with visits to every house and yard in the Dagestan village of Gubden, local residents report.

The law enforcers are conducting a raid by visiting houses of residents of the Gubden village in the Karabudakhkent District, where soldiers have arrived today, journalist Ruslan Kurbanov reports. "They are walking around the whole village. They are entering every house in the village and conducting checks. There is a version that the raid is the retaliation for the confrontation between the residents of Gubden and the law enforcers in Manas which occurred about a month ago," Ruslan Kurbanov wrote.

On June 9, residents of the Karabudakhkent District gathered near the village of Manas after the police used force and detained two residents of the village of Gurbuki. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), one of the detainees rudely responded to a policeman's request to produce an ID and provoked a conflict. The detainees were released after the court had fined them for violating the self-isolation regime.
