INGUSHETIA, November 11, Caucasus Times – In the evening of November 10, “Satsita” tent camp for Chechen refugees was fired upon by the Russian troops deployed close by.

At about 5 p. m. a blast came on the territory of “Satsita” camp in the vicinity of Ordzhonikidzevskaya village of Ingushetia’s Sunzhensky district. Fortunately, it produced no casualties in the camp.

“Approximately at 5. 45 p.m. I have heard a blast. I think, it was a rocket-propelled grenade fire and the projectile probably blew up in the air. The people got panicked, running out from the tents with their children. Nobody knew, what was going on. They were afraid, the shelling would go ahead, but there were no more explosions,” says Mr. Daudov, a leader of refugees Public Council.

The witnesses confirmed, the shell came from Russian military base deployed nearby “Alina” camp. The locals believed the “law-enforcement agents” celebrated and saluted their professional holiday, “Day of Police.”

“We have already filed a complaint addressed to the prosecutor’s office of Sunzhensky district of Ingushetia to investigate into the case. Today experts and detectives are expected to come to conduct investigation at the site,” a member of the Chechen Council told the Caucasus Times agency.

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement. The project seeks to become a catalyst for building a strong civil society and defending democratic values, helping to train new professional journalists and fostering international cooperation.
