Attacks that targeted a synagogue, an Orthodox church and police checkpoints in Russia 's Dagestan Republic have claimed 19 lives. A priest, three other civilians, and 15 police officers were killed in the attacks which took place in two places: Dagestan's largest city and capital, Makhachkala, and in the coastal city of Derbent. Investigators said Monday that the yet-to-be-ascertained gunmen carried out the coordinated attacks on the night of Sunday, June 23.
There was yet to be any claim of responsibility up to the time of filing this story but it has been noted that the bloody attacks came three months after an attack which ended the life of 145 people in a concert hall outside Moscow was claimed by ISIS. Beyond the historical connection, a widely shared opinion in the region blames the Sunday attacks on Ukraine and the US-led NATO alliance.
