Three soldiers from Dagestan were killed in the SVO zone.

Sirazhutdin Agalarov, Leonard Gasanov, and Elmar Tagiev from the Suleiman-Stalsky district were killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, officials have publicly named at least 1,977 combatants from Dagestan killed there.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by June 9, officials and security forces officially acknowledged at least 1,974 soldiers from Dagestan killed in Ukraine.

The Suleiman-Stalsky District administration reported the unveiling of memorial plaques for those killed in the military operation zone on the walls of their native schools in the villages of Novaya Maka and Chukhverkent.

Sirazhutdin Agalarov, Leonard Gasanov, and Elmar Tagiev served under contract in the Russian Armed Forces. They were killed in the North Caucasus Military District in 2025, the authorities clarified.

Thus, at least 1,977 soldiers from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. 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 security agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Northeastern Military District Statistics: Casualties Are Growing in Southern Russia."

The local administration reported on three people from the Suleiman-Stalsky District killed in Ukraine in February, when it was revealed that Albert Demirov, Telman Guseinov, and Ravidin Magomedov had been killed.

Dagestan ranks first among the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District in the number of those killed, whose names have been officially released by the authorities. Sergey Melikov, then the head of Dagestan, was the first government official in February 2022 to announce that a Russian soldier had been killed in Ukraine, acknowledging the death of officer Nurmagomed Gadzimagomedov.

The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that 18-year-old Said Murtazaliev from Dagestan was tortured by security forces in the Moscow region to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense. Commanders in the combat zone forced him to collect money, after which the young man was declared missing. "I myself was sent to the assault, where comrade 'Spartak' said that an order had been received to erase me," Murtazaliev said in his final video message sent to his mother.
