In a separate incident, another group of gunmen Friday morning attacked a car carrying the head of Ingushetia's Sunzha district, which borders on Chechnya.

Galina Gubina died later in the hospital from gunshot wounds.

Law-enforcement officers are currently searching for the perpetrators of both attacks and the prosecutor's office has launched criminal investigations.
