Gunmen carried out a series of attacks on synagogues, Orthodox churches, and a police post in Russia's North Caucasus region of Dagestan on Sunday. The armed assaults in Derbent and Makhachkala resulted in casualties among both police officers and civilians, prompting the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation to launch a terrorism investigation.
Reports indicated that a 66-year-old priest was found with his throat slashed at an Orthodox church, while at least two police officers were killed and six individuals were wounded in the attacks. Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the coordinated attacks in Dagestan province, with synagogues and churches targeted in the violence.
