“During the military operation, at least 270 militants were killed and a large number of foreign-made weapons, ammunition and mines were seized, including 12 anti-tank (US-made) missiles,” Makarevich said.

According to him, the operation was carried out in difficult weather conditions on the ground, in the most complex rocky terrain in the region, and in harsh climatic conditions.
