MAKHACHKALA, RUSSIA (BNO NEWS) -- At least two police officers were killed during an explosion in southern Russia, officials said Monday.

The blast occurred in the Russian North Caucasus republic of Dagestan at around 2 a.m. local time on Monday morning, RIA Novosti reported. In addition to the two killed police officers, one person was injured. A police car and a gas pipeline were damaged as well.

Islamic extremist groups have carried out two violent separatist wars in Chechnya during the past 20 years, and security forces believe their terrorist activities have spread to its neighboring Dagestan.
