NAZRAN — Russian officials say attacks in the restive Caucasus regions have left one policeman dead and at least five others injured.
Police say the officer was killed and another was injured when their armored vehicle came under grenade fire Saturday in the republic of Ingushetia.
Officials say another officer was wounded by gunfire in an attack in the Ingush town of Malgobek.
Dagestan's Interior Ministry says three policemen were wounded Saturday when a bomb went off near their vehicle in the town of Khasavyurt.
Ingushetia and Dagestan border Chechnya and have been plagued by violence for years — some attacks inspired by Chechnya's insurgency and others connected to criminal gangs.
