MOSCOW: Three militants died in a shootout with military police in Russia's turbulent North Caucasus republic of Ingushetia on Thursday.

The shootout occurred in an operation by military police in the village of Kantyshevo in the Nazran district, when militants hiding inside a house refused to surrender, the Itar-Tass news agency reported, citing the regional department of the Federal Security Service (FSB).

Two militants were killed, while a third committed suicide with an explosive device.

The Kremlin in April formally ended an anti-terrorist operation in Chechnya, which has experienced two bloody separatist wars in the past 15 years.

The restive Chechnya, along with its neighboring republics of Ingushetia and Dagestan, has seen a rise in daily violence in recent months.
