Rosgvardiya claims to have detained two Dagestan residents "linked to terrorism"

Rosgvardiya has reported the detention of two local residents in Dagestan whom security forces describe as being "linked to terrorism." The agency did not specify the exact charges brought against the men.

The operation was carried out by the "Yastreb-Kaspiy" (Hawk-Caspian) unit. According to Rosgvardiya, one individual was detained in Dagestanskiye Ogni and the other in the village of Kayakent; both were subsequently taken to the police.

The agency did not disclose the detainees' names or the circumstances of the case. There is also no information regarding their procedural status or the specific actions the investigation alleges they committed. Security forces have not presented evidence linking the men to terrorist activity.

Such reports from Russian security agencies often appear without details that would allow for independent verification of the allegations. The position of the detainees and their lawyers in this instance remains unknown.

On the same day, the FSB announced another detention—this time in Krasnodar. According to the security service, an assassination attempt against a military enlistment office employee was thwarted there. The detainee is accused of high treason, participation in the activities of a terrorist organization, and the illegal acquisition of an explosive device. He has been remanded in custody, though his name and stance on the case have not been disclosed.

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.
