Landmines Kill Russian Soldiers in Chechnya

The Chechen interior ministry in Grozny, however, denied the report, saying the incident was a road accident in which five people were killed including one policeman.

President Vladimir Putin has vowed to destroy Chechnya’s resistance, but attacks on Russian troops and local pro-Moscow forces continue daily.

Russian troops have fought resistance for about a decade in Chechnya. The war has killed thousands of Russian soldiers and tens of thousands of Chechens.
