According to a deputy commander of the Joint Group, Lieutenant Colonel Boris Podoprigora, Movsar Barayev and his supporters were killed two days ago in the area of Komsomolskoye settlement as a result of pinpoint air and artillery strikes.

Boris Podoprigora stressed that "federal forces are carrying out operations against local bandits and Gelayev's militants who could infiltrate the area." According to the military command, 36 terrorists were killed over the past week. Eight bases with significant stock of arms, foodstuffs and equipment were destroyed. Podoprigora indicated that those were winter bases, the preparation of which militants had been engaged in over the recent period.
