On the night of September 11, in the village of Chiri-Yurt, near house 16, a 19-year-old resident of the village of Zone was killed (his last name could not be established). In connection with the hostilities, he was forced to leave his native places and, in fact, was a refugee.

On the night of September 11, the village of Kurchaloy was fired upon from the military unit. Several residential buildings were damaged.

***
At night, in the village of Novye Atagi on Lenin Street, unidentified persons blew up two private shops and a food stall.

***
In the village of Tsotsin-Yurt, local resident Ruslan (Salamu) Vakhaev, born in 1961, was killed by unknown persons. Bullet wounds were found on his body.

***
At about 21:00, Gyurzhekh Abuevna Akharasheva, born in 1926, was killed in her house in the city of Urus-Martan. The woman was standing in the hallway near the gas stove when a bullet hit her in the temple. The killers fired ten shots: one towards the victim, nine at the house. The shooting came from the street, from behind a brick fence. From this place to the hallway, covered on three sides with glazed frames, is only 10–12 m, and it was impossible not to notice what was happening inside.

Presumably, there was more than one criminal. Neighbors of Gyurzhekh Akharasheva claim that they heard the patter of feet of two or even three people who fled after shelling their gardens.

The prosecutor's office of the Urus-Martan district opened a criminal case into the murder of a woman.

A Moscow blogger recorded a video apologising after making offensive remarks about Chechens during a livestream. In the video, he is seen kneeling and addressing the Chechen people:
​“I want to sincerely apologise to Chechnya for my words. At the time, I was drunk and said too much, but that is no excuse for my behaviour. I understand that my words could have been perceived as disrespectful to you and to your people, the people of Chechnya. I did not intend to show disrespect, and I sincerely regret what I said. I ask for your forgiveness! I respect you and understand that I should have watched what I said, regardless of the state I was in. This will not happen again on my part,” the blogger said.
