\n More than 15 police officers and several civilians, including an Orthodox priest, were killed by armed militants in Russia\u2019s southern republic of Dagestan on Sunday, its governor Sergei Melikov said in a video statement early Monday.
\n ADVERTISEMENTThe Dagestani regional governor visited the site of a weekend attack by Islamist militants, which killed 20 and injured another 26.\u00a0The region observed the first of three official days of mourning on Monday following the attack \u2013 which took the lives of 15 police officers, and a 66-year-old Orthodox priest and set a church and synagogue on fire.\u00a020 people were killed and and 26 were injured as a result of the attacks in Makhachkala and Derbent, according to the regional health minister Tatyana Belyaeva.\u00a0The regional governor Sergei Melikov visited the church and synagogue in Derbent and spoke with priests and members of the local Jewish community.\u00a0Shortly after the attacks in Derbent, the militants had fired at police in the regional capital of Makhackala before they were killed by special forces.\u00a0All five attackers were killed according to the Investigative Committee, the country\u2019s top state criminal investigation agency. \u00a0Their identities have reportedly been established.\u00a0While there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, the Dagestani governor said it was performed by members of Islamist \u201csleeper cells\u201d directed from abroad.\u00a0In a video statement, Melikov said the attackers aimed at \u201csowing panic and fear\u201d and linked the attacks to Moscow\u2019s military action in Ukraine without offering evidence.\u00a0The attackers reportedly included the two sons and a nephew of Magomed Omarov, the head of the Kremlin\u2019s party United Russia\u2019s regional branch in Dagestan.\u00a0Omarov was detained by police for interrogation and dismissed from United Russia.\u00a0Sunday\u2019s violence was the latest that officials blamed on Islamist extremists in the predominantly Muslim region in the North Caucus \u2013 as well as the deadliest in Russia since March, when gunmen opened fire at a concert in Moscow and killed 145 people.\u00a0The large-scale and coordinated attack raises difficult questions for the Russian authorities about continued security lapses.\u00a0Dagestan, which sits between Chechnya and the Caspian Sea, is known as one of Russia\u2019s most diverse, but volatile, regions.\u00a0There are more than 30 recognised ethnic groups and 13 local languages granted special status alongside Russian.\u00a0According to Russian government statistics, about 95% of the population identifies as Muslim but the area also has long-standing Christian and Jewish communities.\u00a0Since the early 2000s, the region was blighted by violence after insurgents from wars in neighbouring Chechnya were pushed into Dagestan by Russian security forces.\u00a0In a sign that extremist sentiments still run high, mobs rioted at Makhachkala\u2019s airport in October \u2013 targeting a flight from Israel. Hundreds of men rushed onto the tarmac, chasing passengers and throwing stones at police. More than 20 people were hurt.\u00a0Several factors contribute to the unrest in Dagestan, according to Harold Chambers, a political and security analyst specialising in the North Caucasus.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENTHe says these include sympathisers to the Ukrainian cause and Russia\u2019s \u201ccontinuous, tightening repression\u201d in the wake of large-scale anti-mobilisation protests in September of 2022. \u00a0A \u201clong-term trend of youth radicalisation\u201d contributed to the attacks, he added, and said that authorities \u201cwere caught off guard\u201d by Sunday\u2019s attack. \u00a0\u201cThe solution is still deportation and repression. This has been the Russian counterterrorism strategy for decades, and it has still allowed for such attacks as today,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
