2024 Karabulak clash

The 2024 Karabulak clash was a deadly stand-off between Russian security services and a cell of Ingush militants, claimed by Russian authorities to be affiliated with Islamic State – Caucasus Province.[1] The incident was the most significant clash in years regarding the Islamic insurgencies in the North Caucasus.[3] Small-arms fire and explosives were exchanged between government and militant forces for hours continuously.A counter-terrorism operation regime was declared in Karabulak,[4] and the surrounding streets were consequently blocked off, as residents of the apartment complex were evacuated to a nearby school.[1] By noon of 3 March, TASS reported that the firefight was effectively over and that the militants were all killed,[3] though Russian independent sources claimed that government forces also sustained casualties, and a bystander was killed.
