Russian stuff blowing up: Terror attack targets synagogue and church in Dagestan [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-23 There was a terror attack today in Dagestan, which is north of Azerbaijan on the shore of the Caspian Sea. The attackers targeted two Orthodox churches and a synagogue. At least six police officers and one priest are dead. The attacks occurred in the coastal town of Derbent, which is just north of the border with Azerbaijan, and in the capital of Makhachkala. There were also unconfirmed reports of attacks in the town of Izberbash. Russian National Guard units were called out to put down the attacks. Two sons of the head of the Sergokalinsky region of Dagestan, Magomed Omarov, were reported to be among the terrorists and were reported to have been killed. Dagestan, you may recall, is where a mob stormed the airport in Makhachkala last October because they thought Jews might be getting off a plane there. x Unknown assailants have attacked an Orthodox church and a synagogue in Derbent (Dagestan). It's the only synagogue in the city. Both were apparently set on fire. There was also a shooting in Makhachkala targeting policemen at the same time -- unclear if they are related. pic.twitter.com/m569l9mDt5 โ€” Aric Toler (@AricToler) June 23, 2024 x โ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ’ฅ Footage from an RIA Novosti correspondent in Makhachkala.
