Russian special forces killed 11 of the gang’s militants during a counter-terrorist operation that took place near Nalchik earlier on Sunday.
Later in the day, three more militants were killed, according to the National Counter-Terrorist Committee press-center.
The firefight between police and the militants started on early Sunday morning in woodland adjacent to Nalchik, the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria Republic, where counter-terrorist operation was announced on Saturday. A unit searching a territory near the city spotted a group of militants in a dug-out.
On November 10, another counter-terrorist operation in Nalchik ended with Robert Zankishiev, a leader of a local Islamic State cell, being killed.
