ISIS has claimed its first terror attack on Russian soil after jihadis armed with a gun and axes attempted to storm a traffic police checkpoint outside Moscow.

Two police officers were wounded during the assault late on Wednesday on the motorway in Balashika.

Russian officials confirmed two terrorists were killed during the attempted attack.

The ISIS news agency Amaq released a short video featuring the two terrorists they named as Uthman Mardalov and Salim Israilov.

The pair declared allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi during the one-and-a-half minute clip.

The pair were wearing hoodies and spoke both Russian and Arabic.

During the video, the pair claimed they wanted to take revenge for Russia killing Muslims in the Middle East.

Russia has been bombing militants in Syria since September last year, part of a military campaign in support of President Bashar al-Assad.

ISIS called on its members to carry out jihad or holy war in Russia in a YouTube video last month, after which the Kremlin said such threats would not affect its fight against international terrorism.

'We have taken the path of jihad on the orders of our Amir Abu Bakr al-Baghdad

'We have called this operation "revenge operation". Revenge for you bombing our brothers, because you kill our brothers every day in Syria and Iraq. ... This will be the start of everything that will come to you.'

The attack was launched in Balashikha, just east of Moscow on Wednesday by two men
