Ukraine Claims Assassination of Russian Lieutenant Colonel
On September 27, a Ukrainian intelligence operation in the North Caucasus resulted in the death of a Russian National Guard lieutenant colonel, his aide, and a driver near Tambukan, Stavropol Krai. The HUR released footage of the attack, targeting the commander of the Avangard unit. The operation was reportedly supported by the “Caucasus Liberation Movement,” according to HUR. The attack occurred far from the Ukrainian front lines in a historically volatile region of Russia.
