After 12 hours of thinking since appearance of the first reports about the battle in Khosi-Yurt, Russian invaders said that 5 Kadyrov's policemen had been killed and 17 seriously injured during the attack of the Mujahideen on the headquarters of the ringleader of Russian minions Kadyrov in his home village of Khosi-Yurt.
The RIA News reported with reference to the occupation gang "investigation committee" that "7 civilians were injured", in addition to 22 killed and wounded Kadyrovites.
Thus, the Kadyrov's own figures seem to be strongly underestimated.
It is to be recalled that 15 puppets were eliminated, according to Mujahideen figures. The Mujahideen didn't say anything on the number of wounded enemies. Among those 5 killed enemies are persons close to Kadyrov. At least 10 houses of puppets have been burnt down.
Kadyrov's claim of 12 allegedly martyred Mujahideen during the battle was not also confirmed.
Russian invaders reported about some 7 "militants" allegedly "blowing themselves up" and therefore they supposedly could be identified by the remaining parts of the bodies.
Let's recall that 3 Mujahideen were killed during the attack on the village of Khosi-Yurt, according to participants of the special operation. The fate of another 2 Mujahideen is still unknown, because they have not yet contacted the Mujahideen command.
Sources from among the villagers of Khosi-Yurt said that a group of hostages from among the young people who have been long held in secret prisons in the village were executed under the order from Kadyrov.
The sources report about the execution of 8 to 10 hostages whom Kadyrov wants to present as "dead militants".
The report of "7 militants who blew themselves up and they are could be identified" points directly to the fact that 7 hostages have been executed and their bodies were blasted so that they could not be identified.
Otherwise, these dead hostages could have been identified, and then the lie about the allegedly killed Mujahideen could have been discovered.
Meanwhile, Western media reported on the successful raid of the Caucasian Mujahideen on the Kadyrov's headquarters.
Grigory Shvedov, the editor-in-chief of the Internet news agency Caucasian Knot, said in a telephone interview with the Moscow bureau of Reuters: "This raid is a message to Kadyrov, who thinks he is fully in control of the situation.
The sabotage looks quite successful, and is a sign that we could expect a surge in similar activities further on".
An expert with the English-language analytical service of the US Radio Liberty, Liz Fuller, also praised the successful operation of the Caucasian Mujahideen.
She noted with reference to the KC that 60 Mujahideen participated in the operation and made fun of Kadyrov who in recent years "consistently overestimated the number of Mujahideen killed and underestimated the number of fighters still hiding out in the mountains".
Fuller describes the August 29 attack as the "largest-scale" offensive launched by Chechen fighters so far this year, and also the "boldest" as the fighters targeted "Kadyrov's hometown".
"Most of the attacks that have been reported over the past year have involved only five or 10 fighters", Fuller said and added:
"The insurgency website kavkaz.center (so is written in the published the text, probably, the intention is to deprive readers of a possibility to visit the website and to read it themselves - KC) is now saying that this morning's attack was by 60 fighters in three separate groups, under three different commanders. It means it's a bigger attack than we've seen for some time. And of course the choice of the target is extremely significant in that it was a clear attempt to discredit and insult and humiliate Kadyrov himself".
"The identity of the suspected militants and their allegiances to insurgent groups remains unclear", writes American Liberty radio on its English-language analytic website.
Meanwhile, the US agency AP said its reporter on the scene saw fire-ravaged and bullet-ridden homes of Kadyrovites, with their body parts lying among the rubble.
A resident of Kadyrov's village, Vargan Edelgeriyeva, 48, said the gunbattle started at about 3 am at a construction site about 150 meters away from Kadyrov's residence.
Mujahideen conducted a "sweep" of Kadyrovites' houses. In particular, a 30-year Kadyrov's puppet had been "swept" with a hand grenade in one of these houses.
