At night of March 10th unknown persons opened fire from grenade launchers at a house owned by the head of administration of the village Ekazhevo of the Nazran  district in Ingushetia (Russia) Khavaja Sapraliev. There were no casualties. Search for criminals is under way.

This incident is linked with a large-scale operation that was held in the village of Ekazhevo on March 2 and 3, during which 6 militants were killed, including one of the leaders of the insurgency Said Buryatsky, and 16 people were detained.

It is thought that Sapraliev might again become an object of attack, as there are suspicions that during the above operation he cooperated with law enforcement bodies.
