Russia’s special forces killed several men linked to the so-called “Islamic State” (IS) group who took two guards hostage at a detention center in the southern city of Rostov, Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service said Sunday.
“The criminals were eliminated,” Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service said in a statement, describing how a “special operation” had taken place to free the hostages.
“The employees who were being held hostage were released. They are uninjured,” the statement continued.
