The National Anti-Terrorist Committee (NAC) announced on Monday that five militants had been killed in the Republic of Dagestan, following a counter-terror operation.
Operational footage shows the assault, traces of blood, a corpse and a burnt out car.
"As a result of the military operation carried out in Derbent, two gunmen were neutralised, in Makhachkala - three gunmen," the committee stated.
The agency also added that the counter-terrorist operation ended due to the 'elimination of threats to the life and health of citizens in compliance with the federal law on counter-terrorism'. However, the 'necessary operational and investigative activities continue, as well as the search for accomplices of the terrorists'.
Sunday saw a series of deadly attacks on churches, synagogues and police posts in Russia's predominantly Muslim Dagestan, in both Makhachkala and Derbent. At time of publication, around 20 people were confirmed dead, many of them police officers, and dozens taken to hospital.
Chair of the Public Supervisory Commission for Dagestan Shamil Khadulaev stated that a clergyman was killed in the attack in a church in Derbent, while a security guard was shot in a cathedral in Makhachkala.
The Russian Investigative Committee for the Republic of Dagestan has opened criminal cases into the attacks as possible 'terrorist acts'.
Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov described the incident in his Telegram channel as 'a despicable provocation and an attempt to bring discord between religions'.
