Russians Press Chechnya Rebels In Mountain Campaign
Russian warplanes and ground troops hammered Chechnya's southern mountains where up to 8,000 rebels are believed based. Forces seized commanding heights in Argun and Vedeno gorges while rebels attacked a border guard post near Georgia. Despite control of Grozny, civilians remain reluctant to return as the city lies in ruins and reconstruction funds are scarce. Border checkpoints reopened with free passage into Ingushetia for refugees. Col. Gen. Manilov cites 1,175 killed and 3,544 injured since operations began, a toll many observers say undercounts reality.
