During the videos shared on social meida, loud bursts of machine gun fire can be heard on the city streets

According to Russian Media SHOT, in a private house, Russian security forces blocked a group of Islamist Militants who were planning terrorist attacks in crowded places, with some sources hinting that they were members of Islamic State (ISIS).

At these moments, FSB special forces are fighting with gunmen, as shooting was then reported in the area of Rabochaya, Oskanova, Naberezhnaya and Dzhabagieva streets.

As expected on social media, Ukrainian and Ichkerian accounts praised the gunmen as "Ingush Freedom fighters fighting for freedom from Putin's Regime"

Despite it, the clashes still ongoing and it's unclear with whom the Russians are actually fighting against.

Ingushetia is a Muslim Majority Republic of Russian Federation, with more than 96% of locals being muslims and historically as the hotbed of instability for Russia and Northern Caucasus in general
