Security forces were successful in storming the Volgograd prison, where several inmates had attacked guards and taken hostages earlier on Friday, the Russian national guard has confirmed. All of the terrorists have been killed, and all the hostages have been released.
According to WarGonzo, a Telegram channel, one of the hostage takers was wearing a suicide belt which failed to go off. It remains unclear whether or not the belt was real.
The identities of the attackers have been confirmed, media reports claim, citing court records. One of the four suspects had been imprisoned for murder while the other three were convicted on drug trafficking charges. The suspects are supposedly natives of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
