An organisation representing the families of Russian soldiers fighting in Chechnya has accused the authorities of concealing the true numbers of Russian casualties in the offensive. The Committee of Soldiers' Mothers says it estimates that 3,000 soldiers have been killed and 6,000 injured in the current campaign. The allegation came as Federal troops launched another intensive bombardment on Grozny. Plumes of smoke and thick dust have been seen rising over Grozny's central and eastern districts. Russian military sources say that the intense artillery and air attacks were providing cover for advancing ground troops. There are also reports of fierce fighting in the south of the republic. |
