MOSCOW. Jan 12 (Interfax) - Security forces blockaded two men suspected of belonging to illegal armed units in a house in Makhachkala on Saturday morning, a law enforcement source told Interfax.

"A private house was blockaded on Shamil Street in the community of Novy Khushet in the Leninsky district of Makhachkala at about 8:35 a.m. Two militants are presumably staying in it," the source said.

An active phase of the special operation to neutralize the suspected militants could be started soon, he said.
