Protests erupted in Dagestan, a republic of Russia, against the partial mobilization announced by Vladimir Putin. The Russian President has recently called-up 300,000 military reservists to serve in Russia's armed forces.

Mass protests took place in the city of Makhachkala, with hundreds of women taking to the streets. More than 100 people were arrested after clashes with the police.

Dagestan has recorded a higher death toll than any other province in the war against Ukraine.

Dagestan was swept by a wave of protests against the "partial" mobilization announced by Vladimir Putin. On Sunday, the protests were accompanied by road closures and clashes with the police. The protest turned out to be especially massive in Makhachkala - hundreds of women are protesting against forced conscription, and men are fighting with the security forces.
