| WTF News |

Reports out of Russia have confirmed that a gun battle erupted in Chechnya’s capital city of Grozny, killing unknown numbers of police and gunmen. Most of the details cannot be confirmed but what is clear is that the security response was significant and the battle left the city’s news media center in flames.

Мы получили оперативную информацию о машине с подозрительными вооруженными людьми. Ориентировка была передана во все правоохранительные органы. Сотрудники ДПС предприняли попытку остановить машину. Из неё был открыт огонь. Трое сотрудников погибли. При преследовании предположительно пять-шесть вооруженных бандитов проникли в дом печати. Приняты исчерпывающие меры с целью их нейтрализации. В городе обстановка спокойная, работают все службы жизнеобеспечения. Я прошу жителей города в зоне проведения операции соблюдать меры предосторожности, без особой надобности не выходить на улицы, не подходить к окнам. С наступлением утра операция будет завершена. Все разговоры о том, что где-то в городе хозяйничают боевики, абсолютно ложны. В городе как обычно ездят машины, хотя они мешают участникам операции. Случившееся – попытка создать видимость наличия силы, но она сорвалась. Мы не исключаем вероятность того, что эти люди могли приехать из другого региона. В Чечне способных на это участников НВФ, не осталось.

The conflicting reports have claimed that at least 5 police have been killed along with 7 or more attackers. Some initial reports claimed that the response killed the entire group of attackers, others noted multiple groups of attacking numerous targets including an army barracks.

The airspace surrounding Moscow was rumored to be shut down also.

The attack comes after warnings from “ISIS” in recent weeks claiming the same region would be targeted. A LifeNews report echoes claims that multiple targets were planned.

According to the Russian news service Lifenews.ru, the militants are suspected of hijacking three taxicabs southwest of Grozny and using the vehicles to infiltrate the city. They were en route to an unknown target, when traffic police stopped their convoy and discovered a massive arsenal of automatic guns, grenades, and other weapons. This was when violence reportedly broke out, leading to the deaths of several police officers.

Claims that militants arrived in three taxicabs don’t square with other reports about the number of armed men now battling Grozny police. Russian website TJournal.ru spoke to an eye witness who speculates that as many as 50 armed militants are currently roaming Grozny’s streets. According to the witness, most people in Grozny speculate that the incursion is a failed effort to attack Grozny’s airport, where Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov’s private jet was expected to land around the time of the incident. 

A video later surfaced which took credit for the attack.

An Associated Press report noted the video may have come from a known media group friendly to factions in the region.

Al Jazeera
The Kavkaz Center website, is believed to serve as a mouthpiece for Islamic groups operating in Russia’s North Caucasus, was linked to a video message by an individual claiming responsibility for the attacks unfolding Thursday morning, according to the Associated Press.

“The info coming from Grozny residents is all over the place, ranging from “a war has started here” to “I haven’t heard a thing.”
