A bomb exploded in a pile of garbage in Makhachkala, the capital of the southern Russian republic of Dagestan, killing a serviceman and wounding five others who had been searching for explosives, police said.
A group of people who were spotted filming the explosion fled in a car, said police official Ilyamin Magomedov.
After police stopped the car near the Chechen border, three men jumped out and opened fire, wounding an officer. One suspect was believed to be wounded, but the group escaped, he said.
