Anti-mobilization protests in Russia continue, many arrested: Reports.

Protests against Russia's "partial mobilization" drive are taking place around the country, with reports and videos on social media of clashes between people and police in the Russian republic of Dagestan.

At least 100 people there have been arrested in the regional capital of Makhachkala, according to OVD-Info, an independent Russian human rights group. CNBC has not been able to independently verify the numbers.

Dagestan is a predominantly Muslim region in the mountainous Russian Caucasus, and is overwhelmingly poor. The province has suffered the highest death toll among its troops sent to fight in Ukraine than any other Russian province, the BBC reported.

At least 2,000 people have been arrested in anti-mobilization protests since Wednesday. Putin has said that 300,000 military reservists will be called up for what he still calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine.

    They should protest since they are cannon fodder. Russian troops are poorly trained, under equipped and have low morale.
