Russian soldiers who came to see a dentist were killed at the hospital of Urus- Martan on the 8th of December. Three soldiers and two of the nurses from the military garrison who were accompanying the soldiers were in the dentist's room when two young Chechen guys had showed up. They had pulled on masks on their faces and having opened the door shot point blank in cold blood those soldiers, including the women. Having jumped out of the window of the second floor, they left the hospital. The assailants were apparently armed with guns which had silencers on - neither the staff of the hospital nor its visitors heard any shots.
Eyewitnesses report hearing only dumb sound.
A panic rose at the hospital. An hour later, all the hospital nearby area was encircled by Russian Military personnel. They also blocked off any roads linking Urus - Martan and other nearby residential settlements. A close search was carried out at the hospital. Feet of the bodies were tied with a metal wire.
