An armoured vehicle with Russian military men ran into a Gazel minibus in the southeast of Chechnya on 4 October, an eyewitness of the accident reported.
The accident occurred on a road near Novye Atagi, Shali district.
"A Russian armoured personnel carrier rammed into a passenger Gazel on the outskirts of Novye Atagi in the afternoon yesterday.
