MOSCOW — A former general in Chechnya and foe of the republic’s Kremlin-backed president was shot over the weekend in the Persian Gulf emirate of Dubai, and the police there said Monday that he had died.

Sulim Yamadayev was shot at least three times outside an apartment complex in what appeared to be an assassination, the police said.

The attack evokes others on Chechens, in Russia and abroad, who ran afoul of President Ramzan Kadyrov.
