The woman was approaching a police checkpoint in central Grozny when the officers noticed she was acting “strangely,” the acting regional interior minister told the Russian media. The police asked her to stop and show her documents for inspection. The woman, however, rushed to the checkpoint instead.
At some point, the officers saw a suicide belt she was wearing and fired a warning shot. The woman then set off the improvised explosive device some 75 meters away from the checkpoint. The suicide bomber was the only person killed in the incident and there were no additional injuries, the police confirmed.
The identity of the attacker has not been revealed, although earlier local media reports suggested that she was a resident of Dagestan, a neighboring region, and was previously known to security services. Police are now looking for potential accomplices of the assailant.
