Five militants have been killed in a special operation in the Russian North Caucasus republic of Dagestan, a spokesman for the Investigative Committee said on Friday.

Four servicemen also died and three others were wounded in the operation, which occurred in Dagestan’s northern Kizlyar District, the spokesman said.

More than a decade after the end of a federal war against separatists in another North Caucasus republic, Chechnya, militants continue to stage frequent attacks on security forces, police and civilians in other parts of the region, including Dagestan.

Volatile Dagestan, which borders Chechnya, has seen around half of all militant attacks in Russia in the past two years.
