A suspected rebel lightly injured several riot police officers in the Chechen capital of Grozny when he threw a grenade at them to avoid detention, the Chechen Interior Ministry said in a statement Wednesday.
Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov denied earlier reports about two more explosions in Grozny overnight, the ministry said.
In another incident in Grozny on Wednesday, unidentified attackers fired at a motorcade of military cars, killing one officer and injuring another six, the Investigative Committee said in a statement.
