A combatant from North Ossetia died in the combat zone.

Aslan Dzhioev was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, authorities have officially recognized at least 542 servicemen from North Ossetia as killed there.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by February 2, at least 541 fighters from North Ossetia had been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Aslan Dzhioyev, a resident of the village of Tarskoye, was killed in the combat zone in Ukraine, the Prigorodny District administration reported on its Telegram channel.

No other details about the soldier's biography or death were provided in the publication.

Thus, at least 542 soldiers from North Ossetia have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

"Caucasian Knot" maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts killed in the military operation. The list was compiled based on data officially released by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Airborne Military District Statistics: Casualties Mounting in Southern Russia."

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on Channel One do not guarantee state support for the families of those killed, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Are Denying Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers," which describes the stories of soldiers from other regions. "The combat veteran certificate was issued only because Vasily managed to serve in the Airborne Forces for three months under a contract from the military unit in Odintsovo," a relative of one of them said.
