The 2002 Grozny OMON ambush occurred on April 18, 2002, when Chechen insurgents killed about 8[1] and wounded two republican OMON special police officers.

The ambush occurred just 90 meters from Chechnya's main police headquarters. The first bus in a convoy hit a remote controlled mine, and the militants then opened fire on the line of vehicles from the ruins of a nearby high-rise building.

Another version of the attack was presented by Nezavisimaya Gazeta, which claimed there were two connected attacks.[2]

The incident preceded by two hours President Vladimir Putin's mid-term state-of-the-nation address, in which he said the "military phase" of the Chechen conflict had been completed.
