Heavy fighting in the area began on 14

moved into Gudermes and surrounded
Russian troops based there.
Meanwhile, 50 Chechen rebels have been
reported killed in an attack near
Vedeno, south of the capital Grozny.
Fighting has also broken out to the
west of Grozny after rebels attacked a
Russian troop position.
