Ingush-Chechen fratricide incident

Ingush-Chechen fratricide incident was a September 13 2006 incident in which eight police officers were killed and about 20 were wounded when Chechen and Ingush policemen fired on each other on the border between the republics.

A motorcade of Chechnya's OMON special police buses was riddled with bullets as it was leaving neighbouring Ingushetia, heading home with a suspect caught there. The Chechen OMON Chief of Staff, Buvadi Dukhiyev, was mortally wounded in the shootout.

Isa Kostoyev, a former high-ranking prosecutor and Ingushetian senator in Federation Council of Russia, issued a call to the residents of Ingushetia to offer resistance the Chechen police raids.
