The conflict was sparked when troops from Dagestan - a poor, mountainous region of southern Russia disproportionately affected by the Russian army's conscription drive late last year - took umbrage with the arrival of the 'Kadyrovites', who are particularly vocal on social media and were allegedly in town to film propaganda clips.
Around 8pm local time, a fight broke out between the two groups.
The NRC said: 'During the quarrel, one of the occupants opened fire in the air from a small automatic weapon.
'In the course of the fight, one of the occupiers was inflicted with numerous stab wounds which were fatal.
Russian fighters from Dagestan allegedly clashed with a unit of Chechen troops Brawl quickly descended into armed combat with 20 killed and 40 wounded
A disagreement between Russian units in the occupied Zaporizhzhia region descended into a full-blown conflict in which at least 20 of Putin's troops died after shooting at each other with automatic weapons, it has been claimed.
Ukraine's National Resistance Centre - an organisation that helps to coordinate the operations of pro-Ukrainian movements in occupied territory - reported that Russian fighters from Dagestan clashed with a unit of Chechen troops operating under orders from the head of the Republic of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, a close Putin ally.
A disagreement between the groups, who encountered each other in the Ukrainian town of Mykhailivka near Melitopol, led to some of the troops getting embroiled in a fist-fight. But the scrap quickly spiralled out of control.

Looks like Bob Newhart.
My thoughts, too.
Communists and Middle Eastern terrorists used to malign the US with “The ways of western capitalism lead to moral decay. We don’t want to be contaminated.”
Now it came true. Thanks again, Dems.
Putin has to rely on mercenaries.

Nice picture you sent there.
Putin and one his Islamic friends fighting against Western Europe...
It’s good that you are reminding us that fighting Putin also means Ukraine is fighting his Islamic allies as well.
We must stop Russia from islamizing Europe!
I bet alcohol was involved. Lots of alcohol.
I was never in the military but how do you have a fist fight and use grenade launchers as well?
A fist fight is hand to hand, as personal as it gets.
A grenade launcher is what, 50 to 100 yards?
That Putin might be the double.
“That Putin might be the double.”
One day Putin’s handlers will mess up. And two Vladimir Putins will appear at two different events simultaneously.
