In the mountain village of Ploska near the Horlecha checkpoint, two men attacked military commissariat employees at a checkpoint on March 6. The driver of a VAZ car first ran over a representative of the military commissariat, then got out of the car and hit him in the forearm with the butt of an ax. Another man, also with an ax, hit the serviceman in the shoulder.
