Officers moved to stop the bomber as he tried to force his way into an area where they were conducting a search operation, the National Counter-terrorism Committee said in a statement.

The attack took place in the village of Uchkeken in the Karachay-Cherkessia area of the volatile, mainly-Muslim region.

No civilians were hurt and authorities were trying to establish the identity of the assailant, it said.
