Attacks in Russia's Muslim majority republic of Dagestan are the latest strikes in the country linked to Islamic State. One security analyst told Newsweek that the Kremlin's focus on Ukraine rather than the threat of terrorism means more such incidents are guaranteed.
Russia's authorities announced a counterterrorism operation after men opened fire on Russian Orthodox churches and a synagogue in the coastal city of Derbent at around 6 p.m. Sunday. Within the same hour, another group opened fire on a traffic police post in the republic's capital of Makhachkala, about 80 miles north.
"Putin's quickly losing control of the country," posted pro-Ukrainian X user War is Translated, who writes about the Russian president's invasion, next to video of the aftermath of the attacks. Newsweek has contacted Russia's Investigative Committee for comment.
Dagestani governor Sergei Melikov said more than 15 police officers, several civilians and an Orthodox priest had been killed, although six "bandits" had been "liquidated."
The Russian branch of IS-K's (Islamic State Khorasan Province) Al-Azaim Media praised the attack, which it said was carried out by "their brothers from the Caucasus" without claiming responsibility.

Islamic Terrorists pull off a horrible anti Christian and anti Jewish attack and the framing is about Putin.
