The building site, on the premises of the Chechen Housing Ministry, is about 150 meters from the Kremlin-backed Chechen State Council.
In an apparently unrelated incident, a fire broke out in the Chechen Justice Ministry overnight, gutting the building but causing no injuries. Russian military headquarters said that a short circuit appears to have caused the blaze.
Also today, police shot and killed two suspected militants in the neighboring Russian region of Ingushetia. The two are charged with shooting at police inspecting a home in the town of Karabulak.
