A sentry at the observation post noticed two armed groups of militants approaching the control strip from different directions. A shooting battle ensued.
Artillery damage to the enemy’s sabotage forces was inflicted immediately following the decision of the senior commander."

Early reports indicate that the sabotage and reconnaissance groups consisted of five and seven militants, respectively.
Having suffered losses in injured and killed soldiers, Russian forces retreated in the opposite direction.
