    In the last few days, a significant incident occurred at the IK-19 penal colony in the Volgograd region of Russia, where inmates claiming affiliation with ISIS staged a violent revolt. During this uprising, the prisoners took several staff members hostage and killed four prison guards. The situation escalated during a disciplinary meeting at the prison, where the inmates reportedly overpowered the guards and seized control of part of the facility​ Meduza


    In a violent uprising at the high-security IK-19 Surovikino prison in Russia’s Volgograd region, four prison staff members were killed on Friday. The incident unfolded when a group of inmates, armed with knives and professing allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS), took hostages and seized control of part of the prison. This led to a tense and fatal standoff with Russian special forces.

    A group of ISIS terrorists are claimed to have taken control of the IK-19 prison in Surovikino, Volgograd Oblast, Russia.

    The disturbance began during what was supposed to be a routine disciplinary meeting, according to reports. While the meeting was underway, four inmates—Ramzidin Toshev (28), Rustamchon Navruzi (23), Nazirchon Toshov (28), and Temur Khusinov (29)—launched a sudden and violent attack. The men, originating from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, slashed several guards with knives, wounding many and taking eight prison staff and four fellow inmates hostage.

    Throughout the siege, harrowing images and videos surfaced on social media. One showed a prisoner threatening a bloodied guard with a knife, while another depicted the attackers in the prison yard, one of their captives visibly injured with his face covered in blood. In videos they released, the assailants declared their support for ISIS and framed their actions as revenge for what they described as the oppression of Muslims.

    As the situation intensified, Russian special forces, including elite snipers and heavily armed troops from the Rosgvardia National Guard, were dispatched to the remote town of Surovikino, located about 850 kilometers south of Moscow. The prison grounds quickly transformed into a battlefield.

    Following several hours of intense negotiations and tactical planning, special forces stormed the prison. In the subsequent operation, snipers eliminated all four attackers, ending the standoff. Tragically, four prison staff members were killed—three died instantly, and a fourth later succumbed to injuries in the hospital. Several other guards and inmates were also injured, with some suffering serious wounds.

    According to the state news agency RIA, quoting the national guard, “Snipers of the special forces of the Russian National Guard in the Volgograd region, with four precise shots, neutralized four prisoners who had taken prison employees hostage. The hostages have been released.”

    This event marks the second such violent revolt in recent months. In June, a similar hostage situation occurred at a prison in the Rostov region, also involving prisoners with ties to ISIS. That incident resulted in the deaths of five inmates and the capture of another.

    Following the resolution of the standoff in Volgograd, Russian President Vladimir Putin was briefed in a virtual meeting with security officials, who assured that there was no ongoing threat to the civilian population. Volgograd’s regional governor, Andrei Bocharov, stated, “Everyone on our territory is obliged to respect and comply with the laws of Russia. We will not allow anyone to try to incite ethnic discord.”

    More from all over

    The Russian National Guard and special forces quickly responded to the situation. Reports indicate that snipers were deployed to neutralize the attackers, resulting in the deaths of all four hostage-takers. The hostages were subsequently freed, but not without casualties; three staff members were killed on the spot, and another succumbed to injuries later in the hospital​ The Times of Israel

    The inmates involved in the attack reportedly pledged allegiance to ISIS and demanded $2 million and a helicopter as part of their demands. The revolt was purportedly an act of revenge for suspects detained in a prior attack in March 2024​ Wikipedia

    The incident has raised concerns about prison security in Russia, especially regarding the handling of inmates affiliated with extremist groups. Russian authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, focusing on hostage-taking resulting in death and disrupting the operations of correctional facilities​ Meduza

    Major Points:

    • A violent uprising occurred at the high-security IK-19 Surovikino prison in Russia’s Volgograd region, where prisoners claiming allegiance to ISIS took hostages and seized part of the prison.
    • The revolt began during a routine disciplinary meeting when four inmates from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan attacked guards with knives, injuring several and taking eight prison employees and four fellow inmates hostage.
    • Graphic images and videos shared online showed the attackers threatening a bloodied guard and demanding revenge for perceived oppression of Muslims.
    • Russian special forces, including elite snipers, were deployed to resolve the situation; they killed all four attackers, but four prison staff members also died in the confrontation.
    • This incident follows a similar revolt in June in the Rostov region and highlights ongoing concerns about radicalized prisoners and security challenges in Russian prisons.
