One police officer was wounded.
Daghestan's top police official, republican Interior Minister Adilgerei
Magomedtagirov, said police and security forces attacked the house
after its occupants rejected a demand to surrender. He said an
unspecified number of children left the building before the assault.
Magomedtagirov said the suspected militants were planning a terrorist attack, but he offered no evidence of this.
Meanwhile, Russian news agencies reported that three servicemen were
killed when gunmen attacked their vehicle in Ingushetia, which borders
Chechnya.
