The attack was the latest outburst of apparent extremist violence inside Russia as the country fights its war against neighboring Ukraine.
In Derbent, the attackers set fire to a synagogue after shooting and killing the police officers who were guarding it, the Russian Jewish Congress said.
At about the same time, early Sunday evening, gunmen also opened fire on a traffic police post in Makhachkala, according to state media reports.
Videos posted by Dagestan’s interior ministry showed gunmen on the loose in the city of Makhachkala, opening fire and forcing people out of their cars.
The mayhem highlighted the long-running ethnic and religious tensions in Russia, particularly in the country’s southern Caucasus region, which includes Dagestan.
Leonid Slutsky, a senior lawmaker, claimed that the attacks had “the aim of sowing panic and dividing the people of Russia” and that “the blood of the victims” was also on the hands of the United States.
