Two terrorists attacked patrol guards with knives in the center of Grozny, Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov said.
He specified that the attackers wanted to take weapons from the policemen.
"A policeman was killed. Fire was returned by the soldiers and the attackers were eliminated. One policeman was also wounded. His condition is stable. There are no casualties or victims among the civilian population," Kadyrov wrote in his Telegram-channel.
According to the head of the republic, the bandits' identities are known: they are two brothers, natives of Ingushetia, who in 2012 moved to Chechnya "and worked in one of the bakeries."
Kadyrov expressed his condolences to the relatives and friends of the killed law enforcement officer.
