Furthermore, the Federal Security Service has information that a group of 12 gunmen entered Dagestan from the territory of neighbouring countries.
Mr Bortnikov said that the current situation in the Southern Federal District is complicated but under control. All necessary measures are being taken to prevent terrorist activity on Russian territory.
