A fighter from Dagestan was killed in the special military operation zone.

Mustafa Kubaliev was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, authorities have named at least 2123 killed fighters from Dagestan.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", by September 25, officials and law enforcement agencies named at least 2122 servicemen from Dagestan killed in the combat zone in Ukraine and near the border.

In the walls of the administration of the Kumtorkalin district, the Order of Courage was presented to the family of the killed participant of the special military operation Mustafa Kubaliev, as stated in the district administration's Telegram channel.

Thus, at least 2123 fighters from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives from the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and law enforcement agencies, as stated in the "Caucasian Knot" report "SVO Statistics: Losses in Southern Russia are Growing".

In May, the administration of the Kumtorkalin district reported that Rasul Mutavov was killed in the battles in Ukraine.

Dagestan ranks first among the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District in the number of killed whose names have been officially disclosed by the authorities. Sergey Melikov, who headed Dagestan in February 2022, was the first among the representatives of the authorities to announce that a Russian soldier had been killed in Ukraine, acknowledging the death of officer Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov.

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, as stated in the material of "Caucasian Knot" "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Deprive Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits", which describes the stories of killed fighters. "He has two Orders of Courage. But no official honors have been given to his family," said, in particular, a relative of one of the killed.
