(07-04) 09:11 PDT MOSCOW, Russia (AP) --
Unidentified gunmen attacked a Russian military convoy in war-ravaged Chechnya on Tuesday, killing seven servicemen and wounding 25 others, the Interfax news agency reported.
The attack came when the convoy was traveling between two towns southeast of the Chechen capital, Grozny, Interfax reported, citing an unidentified source in the headquarters for the campaign against militants in the region.
Chechnya has been torn by two wars pitting Russian forces and local allies against separatist rebels in the region in the past 12 years. A Kremlin-backed government is in power and large-scale battles are rare, but fighting persists.
The report came out nearly six hours after it said the afternoon attack occurred.
