As was reported earlier, at night of June 20 there was made an armed attack
by a militant group on the state border checkpoint Izvaryne
who by using small arms and weapons, as well as recurrent mortar attacks, significantly
damaged its infrastructure and destroyed technological equipment. As a result of the armed confrontation the personnel of the border
unit shift and other controlling services was forced
to leave the territory of the above-mentioned crossing border point. The actions of illegal armed groups led to inability to perform clearance
operations and ensure security of citizens in the process of crossing the
state border in the checkpoint Izvaryne. |
