Dagestan is a mainly Muslim region of Russia once noted for intense violence.
While large protests have taken place in major cities across Russia in recent days - with more than 700 people being arrested on Saturday alone - the images of Dagestani demonstrators fighting with police marks a rare outbreak of violence against authorities.
Dozens of videos posted to social media showed protesters confronting police and other security officials in Makhachkala, with OVD-Info reporting that officers resorted to using stun guns and truncheons on the crowds.
In one video, a man detained by officials headbutts a police officer, before being beaten by other personnel.
Another video showed a security officer fleeing from a large group of demonstrators, some of whom attempted to grab and trip him as he ran.
Elsewhere, a large group of women confronted an officer guarding a recruiting centre and angrily condemned the war in Ukraine, with one telling the officer that "Russia is on the territory of another country".
"Why are you taking our children," the women shouted. "Who was attacked? Russia was attacked? They didn't come to us. It was us attacking Ukraine. Russia has attacked Ukraine! Stop the war!"
OVD-Info also reported that locals in the village of Endirey had blocked a federal highway, in an attempt to stop security officials seeking to enforce the draft entering the area.
Footage obtained by the group showed police officers firing automatic rifles in the air as they sought to break up the demonstration, but locals continued to block the road.
In an attempt to ease the outbreak of anger, Dagestan's Governor Sergei Melikov admitted on Sunday that "mistakes have been made" during mobilisation.
"I have already spoken about this before, but I will repeat it again: partial mobilization must take place strictly according to the criteria announced by the president," Mr Melikov wrote on Telegram.
The region is believed to have already supplied thousands of troops for the invasion of Ukraine, with recent analysis by the BBC's Russian service suggesting that Dagestan has suffered more casualties than any other Russian province in the conflict.
The tally - conducted earlier this month - showed at least 301 soldiers from Dagestan have died, 10 times more than in Moscow. The true figure is likely to be far higher.
More than 2,000 people have been arrested at mass protests since Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the new draft on Wednesday.
Many young Russian men have also sought to flee the country, attempting to cross the border into neighbouring Finland and Georgia.
And there have been reports from across the country that many people ineligible for the draft have been ordered to report for duty by local recruiting officers.

but lewwe be real... truth is the first casualty of war.... who stands to gain and who stands to lose?
The Nordstream II pipeline allows Russia to instantly provide gas to Germany. All they had to do was to negotiate terms to remove sanctions and boom-- gas flows to Germany again.
Now that pipeline is kaput and there is no immediate incentive to remove sanctions. Who does this benefit?
Pipeline going kaput also means that Europe is more dependent on gas from the USA, and will have to pay a premium for it. Competition, also kaput. Again, who does this benefit?ABC News

Put the crackpot pipe down.
N2 never supplied gas... to anyone. That's positive pressure that was used for testing that's bubbling out.
NS1 is supplying Europe with gas. The flow is roughly 20% of capacity.
Wonder how the taxpayers feel about thisThe_Honourable wrote:U.S. announces an additional $1.1 billion in military aid for Ukraine
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. will provide an additional $1.1 billion in aid to Ukraine, with funding for about 18 more advanced rocket systems and other weapons to counter drones that Russia has been using against Ukrainian troops, the Biden administration announced Wednesday.
The latest package is being provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which funds contracts to purchase weapons and equipment. And it brings the total of U.S. aid to Ukraine to nearly $17 billion since the Biden administration took office.
The aid announcement comes as Russia moves to annex parts of Russian-occupied Ukraine that held Kremlin-orchestrated referendums on living under Moscow’s rule. The votes were denounced by Kyiv and the West as illegal and rigged.

When you consider the USA has an US$754 billion annual military budget Ukraine has received less than 10% of the spend there. https://www.pgpf.org/budget-basics/budg ... al-defense
If Ukraine donations are reallocations from somewhere in that Pentagon budget then there is no impact on the taxpayer as it would be money already budgeted for.

Venezuela was doing p. good before Chavez and US Sanctions.
Seeing how things going, those sanctions might be lifted (or not, the US energy industry interests might not like competition even allied competition), and good times might return.
You have to remember all our National Flag, National Colors, Nation Anthem, National Birds... all dat chit is brain washing. It did not exist prior to 1962. It have no reason why this small island should be a country by itself. It would have meant something to me if we were part of the West Indian Federation or something larger.
So, what I'm saying is that I, for one, would welcome our new Venezuelan overlords.
