Two soldiers were killed, said a source from the Interior Ministry of the Chechen Republic, but no information is available about guerrilla casualties because they are in hiding.
In another case today, a remote controlled mine exploded on Khankalskaya Street on the outskirts of Grozny when a military convoy passed by.
Three soldiers of the 42th motorized division were seriously wounded and hospitalized at the Russian military base in Khankala. (T/E)
