MOSCOW, July 8 (RIA Novosti) - One serviceman died and another six were injured in clash with militants in Russia's North Caucasus Republic of Ingushetia, a police source said.

Police located a group of up to 20 militants in a forest in Ingushetia's Sunzha district on Tuesday.

One gunman was killed in the shootout. His body is being identified.

Russia's North Caucasus has seen an upsurge in violence of late, with the killing of Daghestan's Interior Minister Adilgerei Magomedtagirov and an assassination attempt on the Ingush President Yunus-bek Yevkurov last month.
