DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. August 19, 2017, 12:39 PM (IDT)
A man armed with a knife attacked people in the central Russian city of Surgut, injuring eight. A police patrol shot the assailant dead. They are trying to identify him and find the motive for the attack.
Surgut is the provincial capital of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area, east of the Ural Mountains. It has a population of over 360,000 and is a major oil and gas production center .
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
