ISIS prisoners at a Russian penal colony have staged a bloody mutiny, resulting in the death of several prison guards.
Reports suggest several hostages have also been taken by the ISIS rebels.
The attackers allegedly identified themselves as ISIS members and launched their mutiny at the IK-19 prison during a meeting of the disciplinary commission.
The penal colony is located in the Surovikinsky district of the Volgograd region, 150 km from the city of Volgograd.
At least three guards are believed to have been killed, and seven seriously injured.
The wounded have been transferred to an intensive care unit. Among them is the 45-year-old head of the prison Andrey Devyatov.
