Truck with servicemen attacked in Grozny

GROZNY/ROSTOV-ON-DON. Aug 17 (Interfax-AVN) - One person was presumably wounded when a convoy of trucks carrying servicemen came under fire in Grozny's Staropromyslovsky district.

"A convoy comprising an UAZ truck and a Gazel vehicle traveled along a motorway in the Staropromyslovsky district on Thursday," a source in the headquarters of the group of troops in the North Caucasus told Interfax-AVN.

"Unidentified attackers fired a handheld anti-tank grenade launcher, wounding one serviceman," the source said.

A car belonging to a military commandant's office was attacked, the Chechen Interior Ministry told Interfax-AVN on Friday morning. No one was killed or wounded in the incident.

"An as yet unidentified assailant fired a Mukha handheld anti-tank grenade launcher at an armored VAZ car near the Beryozka bus stop in the Staropromyslovsky district. The car was carrying four servicemen of the Staropromyslovsky district's military commandant's office. The vehicle was damaged in the attack. The servicemen sustained only bruises," the ministry said.

"The servicemen were not hurt because they were traveling in an armored car moving at a high speed," it said.
