CBC: Terror attack in Russia. (updated)

Last edited Sat Oct 15, 2022, 05:03 PM - Edit history (1)

CBC News reports 11 killed, 15 wounded when two attackers strike on training base in southern Russia. Haven't found a link yet.

Two gunmen opened fire on Russian military recruits at a training ground in Russia’s Belgorod region, killing at least 11 people and wounding another 15, Russia’s state news agency TASS reports.

The attack happened Saturday during a training session at the Western Military District, according to TASS, which cited the Russian Defense Ministry. The gunmen were said to be from former Soviet states. Russian officials have branded the attack an act of terrorism.

There’s no shortage of groups within the former USSR who still bear grudges.
