A counterterrorism operation is in effect in the districts of Khasavyurt and Kazbekovski in Dagestan. Dokku Umarov recently stated the annexation of Ossetia into Ingusetia, without any specification concerning the North or South provinces. Earlier reports indicated that South Ossetia is to be included into the Emirate; therefore, it may also be recognized as an area annexed into Ingusetia as well.
