| Nine Chechen policemen have been killed when militants attacked their vehicle in Russia's neighbouring republic of Ingushetia, officials say. Another nine police were injured near the village of Arshty, in one of the deadliest recent attacks. The Chechen police were conducting joint operations against militants in the volatile region. Last month, Ingushetia's leader was seriously wounded in an apparent assassination attempt. Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov has vowed a "cruel" revenge on those who tried to kill Inghushetia's President Yunus-Bek Yevkurov.
