In Gudermes, 400 fighters from one of the units subordinate to Ramzan Kadyrov storm the houses of the Yamadayev family. This was reported by the Rosbalt agency, citing an unnamed source. There is no confirmation of this information.
“Armed fighters break into houses, turn everything upside down, detain people. They do not explain why this is happening. It is possible that soon we will hear that some kind of coup or something like that was allegedly being prepared, ”said the source of Rosbalt.
news agency The Interfax , in turn, reports, citing an unnamed source, that in one of the houses in the Gudermes district “an operation was carried out as part of an anti-terrorist plan”: law enforcement officers were checking information that an armed criminal was hiding in the house.
Reports that hundreds of fighters were storming houses in Gudermes were called unreliable by an Interfax source.
Later, the press secretary of the head of Chechnya, Alvi Karimov, made a refutation. “The situation in the Gudermes region is absolutely calm. No operations involving special equipment and units were carried out, ”he said.
According to Karimov, a passport check was carried out in several houses, and by now it has already been completed.
Update. Information about the storming of the Yamadayevs' houses was also denied by Novaya Gazeta sources, including people who live on the same street as the Yamadayevs.
