Authorities said six militants were shot dead and others were arrested.
The gunmen also used petrol bombs in the rampage killing 19 in Dagestan's regional capital of Makhachkala and its neighbouring city of Derbent.
Two attackers were said to be sons of the secretary of the regional president Vladimir Putin's ruling United branch of Russia party.
Magomed Omarov, 64, has been expelled from United Russia and arrested by the FSB security service.
