The Islamic State (IS) extremist group has claimed responsibility for an attack in Russia’s North Caucasus region of Ingushetia, in which a police officer was killed.

Two young men rammed their car into a police officer on December 31, and then attacked other police officers with knives in the Ingush capital, Magas.
