At least 11 people have been killed and 15 injured in an attack on a training range in Russia’s Belgorod Region, which borders Ukraine, the Defense Ministry said on Saturday. The incident was a “terrorist act,” it added.
Two suspects have been killed on the spot in retaliatory fire, the ministry explained. Officials further explained that they have been identified as “citizens of a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).”
The CIS includes most former Soviet republics, except for the Baltic States, Ukraine, Georgia and Turkmenistan. The latter is an associate member of the organization.
The Russian military has not provided any further details about the incident or the identities of the assailants.
According to RIA Novosti, the two attackers opened fire at a group of volunteer fighters during training at a firing range. The Defense Ministry has yet to confirm this information.
