Two cellphone base station towers have been destroyed in explosions
in Russia's North Ossetia. The region which borders Georgia's South
Ossetia, has been subject to some ethnic conflicts, and following the
Beslan School siege, attitudes to central Moscow have hardened. The
Interfax news agency reported that no injuries occurred at the
explosion near the villages of Kurtak and Dachnoye, citing local
police. A second base station was destroyed in the regional capital,
Vladikavkaz.
A third explosion occurred in capital of Russia's Republic of
Daghestan, although it was aimed at the building of the Emergency
Situations Ministry. Both North Ossetia and Daghestan neighbour the
strive ridden regions of Chechnya and Ingushetia.
North Ossetia has a sizeable group of non-native Ingush and Armenian
population; however, a portion of the Ingush population left for
Ingushetia with the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the outbreak
of interethnic conflict in the region. At the same time, refugees
from neighboring republics, mostly South Ossetia, resettled in North
Ossetia.
