In a violent incident that occurred in Levashi, a village in Dagestan, three individuals were transported to hospital with gunshot injuries and bone fractures. This development was reported by RIA News, referencing an official information bulletin from the Levashinsky district administration. The involved residents were identified as three local people born in 1997, 1992, and 1961, who were admitted to the district hospital for medical evaluation and treatment. Additionally, two more Levashi residents, aged 29 and 42, were rushed to medical facilities and subsequently pronounced dead after initial assessments.
Earlier statements from the republics Ministry of Internal Affairs indicated that the incident took place in Levashi village at approximately 17:30 Moscow time. Preliminary information from law enforcement suggested two fatalities, including a high-ranking member of the Levashinsky police department’s logistics division. The assailants reportedly fled the scene in four vehicles, and a 26-year-old local resident named Gusengadzhiev Bagaudin Magomedovich was placed on the wanted list as authorities pursued leads.
In a separate incident from September 26, in Dagestan a 19-year-old suspect was detained after launching gunfire at the entrance of a church in Izberbash. The sequence involved a pursuit by law enforcement officers, during which shots were exchanged and additional projectile reports were noted. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding these violence-linked events and are coordinating with regional security services to piece together the full timeline and identify any possible connections between the cases.
Residents and officials in Dagestan are urged to remain vigilant and to report any information that could assist investigators. The local administration has promised transparency as it works through the details of what appears to be a spate of violent criminal activity in the region. While preliminary details point to multiple offenders and rapid flight from the scene, investigators stress that the early findings are subject to change as more evidence becomes available and official briefings are prepared for the public and media.
