GROZNY, June 29 (RIA Novosti) - Three police and three civilians have been killed in two separate clashes with militants in the North Caucasus Republic of Chechnya, a local law-enforcement official said on Sunday.

A police officer and a civilian were killed when attackers opened fire on the police station in the village of Elistanzhi in the southern Vedeno district in the early hours on Sunday.

In a separate attack, another two policemen and two civilians were ambushed and killed in a forest near the village of Roshni-Chu in the Shatoi district also in southern Chechnya.

Chechnya saw two Kremlin-led military campaigns in the 1990s-early 2000s against separatist forces. Although the active phase of the operation was completed, frequent militant attacks occur in Chechnya and neighboring republics.
