The death toll from a series of brazen attacks on churches and synagogues in Russia’s mainly Muslim region of Dagestan rose to 20 on Monday after gunmen went on the rampage in coordinated attacks in two of the republic’s most important cities.

Holy shit that’s crazy.
4515 police officers were killed too. I bring up this number in particular because usually, attacks like this, have people heavily armed against unarmed people. They usually get dispatched pretty quickly when they encounter any sort of armed resistance (police, or people with guns), but to see that they still were able to kill 45 police is crazy.I think you misread something. 20 dead looks like 15 police and 5 civilians, with another 45 injured.
Not any less horrible, but that’s what it says so far.
Ah thanks for the correction. Regardless my point still stands that these people were heavily armed/trained which I think is very surprising.
easier to get access to smuggled military weapons when the brass sells their excess stock for alcohol
