The members of a deep-cover terrorist cell opened fire after security forces tried to stop their car, according to a brief FSB press release. The FSB said the perpetrators received fatal injuries in a fire-fight, but it did not disclose the number of deaths.
Russian regions in or near the North Caucasus are vulnerable to terrorist attacks as extremism has been plaguing the regions for years.
