Moscow - Three suspected rebels in the Russian republic of Dagestan were killed on Tuesday after a shootout with security forces, the Russian Interior Ministry reported.
The Ministry cited by the Interfax news agency said that the clash began when the rebels attacked a police patrol.
After attacks on Russia police that left six dead last week in the region, security forces have been driving with strengthened patrols.
Since Moscow recognized the breakaway Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent nations in late August, concerns have been increasing across the region that independence movements are rising in regions such as Ingushetia or Dagestan.
