The name of the killed soldier from the Astrakhan region has been announced.
Junior Sergeant Pavel Mineev from the Yenotaevsky District was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 765 fighters from the Astrakhan region have been officially recognized as killed.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", by October 3, authorities and security forces officially recognized at least 764 soldiers from the Astrakhan region as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.
Pavel Mineev was born on July 19, 1988, in the village of Yenotaevka. He studied at the Yenotaevskaya Secondary School. In recent years, he worked as a mechanic at the municipal enterprise "Water Supply Networks."
On July 9, 2025, he decided to participate in the special military operation. On October 15, 2025, he was killed near the village of Verkhnekamenskoye, Artemovsky District. He left behind a young son.
Thus, at least 765 fighters from the Astrakhan region have been officially recognized as killed. "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 report from "Caucasian Knot" "Statistics of the Special Military Operation: Losses in Southern Russia are Increasing".
In mid-August, the administration of the Yenotaevsky District reported that Alexander Tyurev 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 the killed fighters. "I receive only twelve thousand rubles a month for two minor children as a family of military pensioners," complains the wife of Vasily Shtylun, who received five million rubles from the "Veterans" unit for her husband killed in 2022.
