According to locals in Vedeno region clashes are still happening on regular basis; summer campaign by militants is under way, casting doubt on official claims that war is over ("Upsurge of Fighting in Chechnya") [ID 20706]

"In his first public address to the people of Chechnya, the republic’s pro-Moscow president Ramzan Kadyrov announced on July 9 that the fighting had “finally and irreversibly” ended. Chechnya was now “the most stable region in the North Caucasus”, he said. That same day, however, rebel fighters carried out an attack on a Russian military convoy in the mountainous Vedeno region of southeastern Chechnya. They blew up an armoured troop carrier that was escorting a group of trucks transporting soldiers, and then raked it with automatic fire. According to official reports, three soldiers were killed and five injured in the raid. A few days earlier, a group of soldiers investigating minefields near the village of Agishty in the same region came under attack. One soldier was killed and several were wounded. Such reports suggest that at the very least, the armed insurgency in the mountains of Chechnya has not been defeated and that a summer campaign by the militants is under way. Locals in Vedeno region say clashes are still happening on a regular basis."

"Shamil Basayev made the claim on a rebel website and warned more attacks were being planned against Moscow. In the statement, he said the death of the Moscow-backed president was a "small, but important victory". Mr Basayev, Russia's most wanted man, has in the past claimed responsibility for a string of rebel attacks. He said he was behind the Moscow theatre siege two years ago, when hundreds of people were taken hostage. Last year, the United Nations Security Council placed him on its list of international terrorists. [...] Another Chechen separatist leader, Aslan Maskhadov, denied any involvement in the attack."
