The Islamic State group's branch in the Northern Caucasus region of Russia released a video that showed the execution of an alleged Russian spy. The new IS video reportedly called on Russian Muslims to "kill apostates" in the country and threatened to carry out an attack on President Vladimir Putin.

In the video, the IS urges Muslims in Russia to join them claiming that "the Caliphate is already here".

"Today we do have a place where we can implement Sharia. Thanks to Allah, we have many brave brothers here with us and millions of Muslims in Russia. Let's get together my brothers, seize a territory and expand it, one of the leading members of the group reportedly said in the video. "If someone does not find us, he shall start killing Russian apostates on his own. It is not difficult to find weapons in Russia."
