Vyacheslav Gasanov said the violence occurred Monday in the Tsunti region of Dagestan when police tried to detain three gunmen. The militants fired at police, killing two officers on the spot and wounding two, one of whom later died at a hospital.
Dagestan and other provinces in Russia’s North Caucasus have been destabilized by an Islamic insurgency that has spread following two separatist wars in nearby Chechnya.
Dagestan has emerged as the militants’ main base, and they regularly attack police and other authorities.
