Four suspected militants have been killed in a special operation in Russia's North Caucasus Republic of Ingushetia.

One security officer was also killed in the shootouts.

Local police officials say a group of gunmen opened fire at police officers early on April 8 in the village of Dalakovo.

A counterterrorism operation in the village is continuing.
