GROZNY. July 1 (Interfax) - The prosecution service of the Combined Federal Forces in the North Caucasus has initiated a criminal case on the tragic death of a family in the village of Serzhen-Yurt in Chechnya's Shali district, Military Prosecutor Alexander Mokritsky said on Chechen television.
On the morning of June 26, artillery shelled a place where an illegal armed formation had reportedly been spotted, Mokritsky said. A house in Serzhen-Yurt was accidentally hit during the bombardment, Mokritsky said.
The gun crew that hit the house has been identified, he said.
The Shali district administration told journalists earlier that the family had returned home from Ingushetia, where they had been living as refugees, only one day before the incident.
