Two militants, who may be involved in Wednesday's bombing of a hydropower plant in Russia's North Caucasus, were killed in a special operation on Sunday, a local police spokesman said.
A group of at least six gunmen set off five bombs with an estimated total of up to 3 kg of TNT at the Baksan Hydropower Plant in the North Caucasus republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, killing two police officers. The blaze from the blast covered an area of 250 square meters.
"The criminals, who were driving a Volga car, offered armed resistance and were eliminated," the spokesman said.
He added that the militants, Orshokdugov and Seyunov, were on a wanted list. They were, allegedly, involved in a number of grave crimes, including the bombings of the Baksan plant.
He also said that the police seized guns and ammunition from the killed militants.
