Violence from war-torn Chechnya regularly spills over to neighboring Dagestan. In Ingushetia, which borders Chechnya to the east, a bomb exploded as a car carrying a federal communications officer and other military personnel was passing. No one was injured.
In Ingushetia's Malgobek district, an explosion hit a gas processing plant today, killing one person. Authorities said the blast appeared to be an accident.
