Regional Interior Ministry spokeswoman Anzhela Martirosova said one of the dead was believed to be a leader of Islamic militants in the Buinaksk district, southwest of Daghestan's capital, Makhachkala.
 
In early April, an Interior Ministry source was quoted as saying that a shootout with security forces in Makhachkala had resulted in the death of Makhach Rasulov (aka Yasin), believed to have been a "main ideologist" of the Islamic militant group Shari'at Jamaat.
