Moscow - Ingushetia President Yunus-bek Yevkurov has dismissed his government, following a series of major terrorist attacks in the Russian republic, reports said Monday.

Alexei Vorobyov, the chief of Ingushetia's Security Council, has been named acting head of government.
Other republics in the North Caucasus have also been rocked by bloody attacks by suspected Islamist rebels that have claimed the lives of high-ranking officials.
