ROSTOV-ON-ON, January 18 (RIA Novosti) - One person was injured after a home-made bomb went off in the southern Russian republic of Ingushetia, the republic's interior ministry said on Sunday.

A roadside bomb exploded early on Sunday in the village of Sagopshi in the Malgobek district in northwest Ingushetia, wounding Bagaudin Tsechoyev, brother of a law enforcement officer, the ministry said.

The bomb went off when Tsechoyev was driving in his car not far from his brother's house, the ministry said.

Measures are under way to find the attackers, the ministry said.

Ingushetia and Daghestan, which both border Chechnya, have seen a sharp increase in attacks on law enforcement and military personnel of late.
