Dagestan, a republic in the North Caucasus region of Russia, has long been plagued by insurgency and violence, predominantly driven by Islamist militants. The region has seen numerous attacks targeting security forces, government officials, and civilians, often claimed by extremist groups.

The latest incidents involved coordinated attacks on several locations, including places of worship and a police station, resulting in multiple casualties. These acts of violence come amidst ongoing efforts by Russian authorities to stabilize the region and combat terrorism.
