Local Editor

Three militants were killed in a botched attack on a police station in southern Russia. Two of them were killed by officers defending the station while another one used his own grenade to kill himself. They were the only ones hurt in the attack.

The incident happened in the town of Novoselitskoye in the Stavropol region, close to the turbulent Russian North Caucasus. Three armed people tried to enter the local police station on Monday morning, but were spotted by the officers.

There were conflicting initial reports about the circumstances of the ensuing firefight. Later the Stavropol department of the Interior Ministry said there were three attackers and that all of them were dead.

The identities of the attackers and their possible links to the insurgency in southern Russia are being investigated.
