According to preliminary investigations, the attack was committed by a group of at least six gunmen wearing camouflage and masks. They planted five homemade explosive devices with the equivalent of 1.5 to 3 kg of TNT in each one.
Two generators and the electric substation near the main building were mined. The bombs were presumably packed with ammonium nitrate and aluminium powder and were detonated both with a timer and remote control. Photo: aftermath of the explosion at the Baksan Hydropower Plant.
The Baksan Hydropower Plant was attacked at about 5:00 a.m. on Wednesday. The gunmen penetrated the engine room after killing two security guards, beat up three workers, planted the homemade explosive devices and disappeared. The generators and other machinery were damaged by the explosions.
Another explosion occurred two hours before the attack at the plant; there were no victims. Sources from security agencies suppose that both the attacks were planned by the same group of terrorists. Photo: aftermath of the explosion at the Baksan Hydropower Plant
Information on the terrorists is still contradictory. One source from the security agencies said the workers of the plant had identified them as the group headed by Kazbek Tashuev who is considered by law-enforcement agencies as one of the heads of the extremist underground. Russian Investigative Committee head Alexander Bastrykin said on Tuesdy that there were no suspects in the attack yet. Photo: aftermath of the explosion at the Baksan Hydropower Plant
RusHydro which owns the plant intends to reconstruct it within about two to two and a half years. Photo: aftermath of the explosion at the Baksan Hydropower Plant.
According to Russian Vice-Premier Igor Sechin who came to Kabardino-Balkaria, the reconstruction will cost about 1.5 billion rubles. Photo: aftermath of the explosion at the Baksan Hydropower Plant
New high capacity machinery is expected to be installed at the plant, and its capacity will grow from 25 MW to 30 MW. It is impossible to begin reconstruction now because investigators are still working at the scene. Photo: aftermath of the explosion at the Baksan Hydropower Plant.
