MAKHACHKALA, June 5 (Itar-Tass) – A threat of a mine planted on the highway Makhachkala-Buinaksk has been false.
Thirteen dummies of artillery and mortar shells were found on the roadside, head of the Tumtorkali district police department Maj. Ruslan Atayev told Itar-Tass. “Smugglers of non-ferrous metals probably left them. Shells are marked as blank,” he emphasized. According to Atayev, “it is not ruled out that smugglers picked them up at a firing ground of the Buinaksk 135th motorized brigade.”
It was initially presumed that live artillery and mortar shells were planted on the roadside in the highlands. Cynologists, sappers and an operational investigating team of the Interior Ministry, Federal Security Service and the prosecutor’s office found out that the bomb threat had been false.
