Police have clashed with anti-government protesters in the Russian region of Ingushetia, firing over their heads and swinging batons.
Protesters threw stones at police and set fire to at least two buildings in the main town of Nazran.
The demonstration had been banned by Russia's security services, which have imposed emergency measures in response to a number of attacks and abductions.
Muslim Ingushetia borders Chechnya and has suffered from overflowing unrest.
There is a low-level insurgency, with regular small-scale ambushes against police and soldiers.
