In the Kherson region, the Russian commander of the 39th separate motorized rifle brigade, Colonel Marat Hajibalaev, was eliminated.

This is reported by the Suleiman-Stal administration of the Republic of Dagestan of the Russian Federation.

"The commander of the motorized rifle brigade, Marat Gadzhibalaev, who died tragically in the Kherson region, said goodbye today in his ancestral village of Zizik," the administration said in a statement dated December 30.

It should be noted that information about the liquidation of the Russian top commander appeared a few days ago, but there was no official confirmation until now.
