Dagestani leader Sergei Melikov said fighting had stopped. He added that six militants had been killed, according to the Interfax news agency.


Militant groups regularly carry out attacks in Dagestan, but Sunday's attack was notable for its coordination and scale. Russia's Telegram channel published several videos of men in black T-shirts opening fire on a police car. Another video showed a synagogue being destroyed by fire.
