A suicide bomber blew himself up in Russia’s North Caucasus region of Karachay-Cherkessia Friday, injuring six law enforcement officers, the country’s National Anti-Terrorism Committee said.
An unidentified person tried to break into an area where police were conducting searches and triggered the bomb when they tried to arrest him, the committee said, adding that six officers were slightly injured in the blast.
The blast occurred in the village of Uchkeken in the Karachay-Cherkessia area of the volatile, mainly-Muslim region.
No civilians were hurt and authorities were trying to establish the identity of the assailant.
In the 1990s Moscow fought two brutal wars against separatists in Chechnya, a neighboring North Caucasus region to Karachay-Cherkessia.Although attacks on police have decreased in recent years in the North Caucasus, Moscow remains in conflict with militants from across the region.
