The three meter diameter funnel is practically all that remains of the VAZ-2115, which was packed with explosives. The suicide bomber was driving. At high speed the car flew to the police department.
Police opened warning fire into the air. When only a few meters remained before the gates of the ROVD, one of the officers turned on the anti-ram barrier, which all Chechen police departments are equipped with. The car crashes into the gate and takes off.

A powerful blast wave in nearby houses smashed windows, smashed doors and damaged the roof.
“When the explosion thundered, we all slept. At first, we couldn’t even understand what had happened. We thought an earthquake. At that very moment, windows flew out of us, doors were knocked out,” says Sayda Batsaev.
It is already known that the car bomber stole in Ingushetia. In Ingushetia, while trying to check the documents, another car flew up on the air, filled with explosives. According to operational data, literally half an hour before the explosion, a suicide bomber, tied with a belt of TNT stitches, came out of the car in front of the ATS building. Toward evening he was detained. He said that, together with his accomplice, he was preparing a series of terrorist attacks in Chechnya and Ingushetia.
