Victory
Chechen separatists and Islamist groups
After incursions into Dagestan and apartment bombings in Russia in 1999, Russian forces returned to Chechnya, took Grozny in early 2000 and spent the following years in a counter-insurgency campaign in the mountains.
Outcome: Russian victory: Chechnya came back under federal control with a pro-Moscow government; the operation formally ended in 2009.
