Reminder that local officials would have motivation to say this. I saw something on Twitter saying both Russian and American style weapons were used. And the American style weapons system was a combination used by police not military.
The Russian Ministry of Defense is not in the habit of making flimsy statements. They say things they can back up, because to do otherwise would subtract from the reputation of their statements among serious people who look at the actual truth of their statements rather than poll numbers.

Um, are you sure about that?

They also just replaced the top guys for corruption.
