I don't get Russia, they're fighting the same people we are yet Russia is trying to form a partnership with Iran. Times of India

MOSCOW: Russia on Friday announced fresh counter-terrorism operations in Chechnya just a week after Moscow ended a 10-year security regime in the war-torn region.

"Chechnya's operational headquarters has tracked the movement of members of illegal armed militias," a spokesman for the Russian military field base said.

At midnight Wednesday "we decided to launch... an anti-terrorism operation in the mountainous, unpopulated areas of the Shali, Shatoy and Vedeno districts," the spokesman said.
