Counter-insurgency operations during the Second Chechen War have been conducted by the Russian army in Chechnya since 1999. On 27 March 2009 the President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev met with Alexander Bortnikov, the director of the Federal Security Service, to discuss the ending of Counter-terrorism operations in Chechnya. As of early 2009 there were close to 480 active insurgents situated in the mountains under leadership of field commander Doku Umarov, according to official data. Since early 2009, parts of the North Caucasus have seen an escalation in terrorist activity.

President Medvedev said that the situation in the North Caucasus remains complicated, with 308 terrorist-related crimes committed in 2009, as a result of which 75 police staff and 48 civilians were killed. "At that, 112 militants were killed and this is a real result of work - that's why establishing order and wiping out the terrorist scum must be continued", Medvedev said, adding that security in the North Caucasus and the life and health of people depend on that. As of September 29, 2009, there have been 233 ambushes on security forces, 153 IED attacks and 160 firefights with militants in the North Caucasus. By mid-November, 442 people were killed in fighting in the whole of the North Caucasus since the start of the year.
