A fighter from North Ossetia was killed in a military operation.
Soltan Batyrov was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 589 fighters from North Ossetia have been officially recognized as killed.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by June 12, authorities and security forces had recognized at least 588 fighters from North Ossetia as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.
Soltan Batyrov, a resident of the village of Dur-Dur, was killed in the military operation in Ukraine, the Digorsky District administration reported today. The statement did not provide details about the fighter's biography or the circumstances of his death.
Thus, at least 589 fighters from North Ossetia have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.
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 "SVO Statistics: Losses Rises in Southern Russia".
The death of a SVO participant from the Digorsky District was previously reported on March 16. At the time, authorities reported that a resident of the village of Dur-Dur, Zaur Ramonov, had been killed in the military operation.
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 article "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Are Depriving Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of fighters from other regions. Thus, the mother of the murdered Dmitry Ukhanov said that she searched for her son's body for four months, and the administration and military registration and enlistment office staff inquired about the search progress from her without providing any assistance.
