According to the telegram channel "112", during the armed attack on Derbent and Makhachkala, 5 police officers were killed and 9 more were injured.

There are no casualties or deaths among the civilian population, the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Dagestan reported.

Local sources write about the brutal murder by the terrorists of the rector of the Orthodox church in Derbent, Father Nikolai.

He was 66 years old. The terrorists cut his throat.

The militants were armed with carbines based on the AR-15 and AKS-74U (or also a carbine based on it) and did not hide their faces.

Footage from eyewitnesses shows some attackers firing while others searched a police car.

The militants shoot in the air, pull a civilian out of the car and hide in it.

It’s a miracle that there wasn’t a shootout in such a busy place with a bunch of kids.

The attackers took a VAZ 2114 from a resident of Derbent and fled in it. Before that, one of them shot in the air to stop the car

The fire in the synagogue in Dagestan Derbent has been localized.

Ruthless

The moment of liquidation of two terrorists during a shootout.

The security forces approach and shot the attackers, throw their weapons away from them and carry out control shots.

Interestingly, there were still special forces soldiers in the Tiger armored car.

You can see how the security forces on the street approach the side doors and communicate with gestures to their colleagues inside. You can also see bullet marks on the windshield of the armored car.

It seems that the Tiger rammed two terrorists who were trying to shoot the armored vehicle, and then other special forces finished them off.

🇷🇺 The assault of one of the buildings where the terrorists had settled began in Derbent, Russia

Law enforcement officers also surrounded the area where the militants were located.

Now shooting can be heard from the area of the church, which was surrounded by terrorists, and the school.

The attackers are likely ISIS-K terrorists, but that’s just a guess now.

Terrorist attack in Derbent. Analysis of enemy actions. Tactics. Fights.

Analyzing the video, we can say the following:
 
- terrorists are armed with automatic weapons; 
- one of the terrorists has an AR-based weapon, they also seized the weapons of the killed police officers, an AKSU-74 flashes in the video;
- they have experience in handling weapons; the video shows moments where terrorists use shooting stances; 
- tactical training is also present: they carry out radial control, hold sectors, work from behind cover, conduct an inspection with a two-man approach, carry out competent movement of the two (one moves, the other works), spend a minimum amount of time in open areas, plus competent work is visible neutralization; 
- correctly transfer the focus of attention: shooting, arson, shooting.
 
We are dealing with a trained group (trained at training grounds, took weapons courses)
