A combatant from North Ossetia was killed in a military operation.

Soslan Mamitov from the Ardon district was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, at least 563 North Ossetian soldiers have been officially recognized as killed.

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, by March 5, authorities officially acknowledged that at least 562 servicemen from North Ossetia had been killed in Ukraine.

The Ardon District administration has named the next North Ossetian serviceman killed in Ukraine. The deceased is Soslan Mamitov, a resident of the village of Kirovo. He was buried today, according to a post on the municipality's official Telegram channel. However, details of his biography and date of death have not been released.

The last death of a native of the Ardon district was reported on February 23, when the names of 12 combatants were announced.

Thus, at least 563 fighters from North Ossetia have been officially recognized as killed in Ukraine. The "Caucasian Knot" maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts killed in the military operation. The list was compiled based on data officially released by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "NVO Statistics: Casualties Mounting in Southern Russia."

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on Channel One do not guarantee state support for the families of those killed, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Are Denying Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers," which describes the stories of fighters from other regions. "He has two Orders of Courage. But no official honors have been bestowed upon his family," a relative of one of the killed volunteers said.
