This draft has been resubmitted and is currently awaiting re-review.

Comment: Content about armed conflict is held to a high standard of sourcing. This article falls short on several aspects:
#Unsourced paragraphs
#A lot of the sources are Russian websites, whose reliability I'm not entirely confident at assessing. Kommersant is probably ok, but court rulings (in this case hosted at http://terror1999.narod.ru) are not citable.
#Instead of news, consider citing scholarly sources like these ones[1][2][3] (t · c) buidhe 06:42, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

The Insurgency in Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia was a protracted conflict between Russian security forces and militant groups operating in the regions of Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia, located in the North Caucasus region of Russia. The conflict was part of the broader insurgency in the North Caucasus, which emerged following the end of the First Chechen War in 1996.
