The 2014 Grozny bombing was a terrorist attack in the city of Grozny, Chechen Republic, Russia.

Police officers noticed him acting strangely and stopped him. The officers began to search him and the bomb which Mudarov had been carrying exploded. Five officers, along with the suicide bomber, were killed, while 12 others were wounded.
