Many killed in southern Russia clash
At least 20 people have been killed and 40 others wounded in attacks by armed men on government installations in the southern Russian city of Nalchik, a local hospital spokewoman told the Echo Moskvi radio station.
The firefight is still going in Nalchik, the main city of the southern Russian region of Kabardino-Balkariya, including in a school near a police station.
Twelve civilians and five police officers have died in the shootout in the Russian town, Interfax said quoting the presidential envoy to the south, while Interfax said about 50 fighters have been killed.
Central Nalchik has been sealed off and police cars equipped with loudspeakers are circulating in the area, broadcasting messages to local residents to evacuate the quarter.
Nalchik is located some 150km west of the Grozny, the capital of the breakaway republic of Chechnya.
