Russian investigators have blamed terrorism for a series of deadly shootings in the country's southern region of Dagestan. At least 20 people were killed in coordinated attacks in the cities of Makhachkala and Derbent. Gunmen targeted a synagogue, two Orthodox churches and a police traffic post. No one has claimed responsibility for the killings, but the attacks have renewed fears of a resurgence of Islamist violence in the region.

In the neighboring republic of Chechnya, Russian authorities fought two bloody wars against Islamist separatists in the 1990s. Since the end of the Chechen wars, the Russian authorities have been locked in a simmering conflict with Islamist militants from across the North Caucasus, in which scores of civilians and police have been killed.
