The incident began around 6pm yesterday, when armed men attacked an Orthodox church and a synagogue in the city of Derbent.

At the same time - gunmen opened fire at a police checkpoint in the capital Makhachkala, with gun battles reported at several locations in both cities.

It comes just three months after a major attack by Islamic State in Moscow, which killed 145 people.
