Two fighters from North Ossetia were killed in the special military operation zone.
Sergey Kazhurin and Konstantin Arkalov from the Mozdok district were killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 597 fighters from North Ossetia have been officially recognized as killed.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", by October 21, authorities and security forces recognized at least 595 fighters from North Ossetia as killed in the military operation zone in Ukraine.
During the special military operation, residents of the Mozdok district Sergey Kazhurin and Konstantin Arkalov were killed, reported the district administration on their page on "VKontakte".
Kazhurin was born in 1994. His funeral will take place on October 25 in the village of Kievskoye. Arkalov was born in 1990. The military will also be buried on October 25 in the city of Mozdok. The administration did not provide details about the biographies and deaths of the soldiers in the message.
Thus, at least 597 fighters from North Ossetia have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives from the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District who were killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and security agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "SVO Statistics: Losses in Southern Russia are Increasing".
Earlier, news of the death of a participant in the SVO from the Mozdok district became known at the end of August. At that time, authorities reported that Alexander Shcherbin was killed in the military operation.
State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, according to the material from "Caucasian Knot" "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Deny Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers", which describes the stories of fighters from other regions. For instance, the mother of the killed Dmitry Ukhanov said that she searched for her son's body for four months, while officials from the administration and military enlistment office inquired about the progress of the search without providing any assistance.
