MOSCOW, August 25 (RIA Novosti) - One police officer was killed and another injured in an attack by militants in the Vedeno District of the Russian North Caucasus republic of Chechnya early on Tuesday, a police source said.
The officers were attacked while taking part in a special operation at about 03:00 a.m. (23:00 Monday GMT).
Late on Monday, in neighboring Dagestan, a police station in the city of Khasavyurt came under attack by militants armed with a grenade launcher. No casualties have been reported.
Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev has ordered a complete review of every Interior Ministry facility in the North Caucasus to assess their vulnerability to terrorist attacks.
His order came after a suicide bomber rammed a minivan laden with explosives into the gates of a police station in the North Caucasus republic of Ingushetia on August 18, killing over 20 officers.
