Six police officers have been killed and 12 have been wounded after gunmen opened fire in a series of shootings in Russia’s Dagestan region, its interior ministry says.<\/p>\n

The attacks targeted a synagogue and an Orthodox church in Derbent as well as a police post in Makhachkala.<\/p>\n

A priest was also killed in the attacks, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Two of the gunmen have reportedly been shot dead.<\/p>\n

A counter-terrorist operation is ongoing to search for gunmen in Makhachkala and Derbent, Russia’s national anti-terrorist committee said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Unidentified people fired at a synagogue and a church with automatic weapons,” Reuters reported the interior ministry said.<\/p>\n

The synagogue and church were both set on fire, added the ministry.<\/p>\n

Derbent is home to an ancient Jewish community in the South Caucasus and a UNESCO world heritage site.<\/p>\n

The attackers then reportedly fled in a car.<\/p>\n

There was later an exchange of gunfire at a police post in Makhachkala, about 125km (75 miles) to the north along the Caspian Sea coast, Reuters added.<\/p>\n

Dagestan is a mainly Muslim region in southern Russia.<\/p>\n
