Today's morning, August 24, at 9 am, Chechen Mujahideen fired a rocket-propelled fragmentation grenade on a military base of Russian interior ministry troops in the Chechen capital of Johar, killing Russian soldiers when they gathered for a morning roll-call. The Mujahideen have no exact information on Russian casualties in the attack, the Mujideen units operating in Jokhar told the Kavkaz Center news agency.
Reuters and AP reported from Moscow citing Russian invaders that four Russian servicemen were killed on Thursday when an artillery shell they were dismantling on their base in Chechnya exploded. The explosion happened inside a base of Interior Ministry Troops in the Chechen capital.
The Kavkaz Center's English-language Service draws attention of Western media in Moscow to the fact that the time of the Chechen attack coincided with the time given by the Russians for the "accidental explosion", that sane soldiers have no reason to dismantle artillery shells, especially at 9 am, the time of a roll-call at the Russian military base and that the number of killed Russian soldiers could be possibly higher than four.
