A soldier from Dagestan was killed in a military operation.

Sagidadam Kurbanov from the Botlikh district was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, authorities have acknowledged at least 1,901 combatants from Dagestan killed there.

The number of fighters from southern Russia killed in Ukraine has exceeded 9,000

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, by April 24, the authorities and security forces had publicly named at least 1,900 fighters from Dagestan killed in the war zone in Ukraine.

The district administration reported on the memorial service for Sagidadam Kurbanov, who was killed in the military operation, in Botlikh Square on its Telegram channel.

The details of the soldier's biography and death were not provided in the announcement.

Thus, at least 1,901 servicemen from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. The Caucasian Knot maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts killed in the military operation. The list is based on data officially released by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the Caucasian Knot report "North Caucasian Knot Statistics: Casualties Are Mounting for Southern Russia".

The last death of a North Caucasian Military District member from the Botlikh District was reported on February 26. At the time, authorities reported that Gadzhimurad Tsarainov, Shirvani Magomedov, and three of their fellow countrymen had been killed in the military operation.

The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that 18-year-old Said Murtazaliev from Dagestan was tortured by security forces in the Moscow region to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense. Commanders in the combat zone forced him to collect money, after which the young man was declared missing. "I myself was sent to the assault, where Comrade 'Spartak' said they had ordered me to be discharged," Murtazaliev said in his final video message sent to his mother. State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on Channel One do not guarantee state support for the families of the slain, according to the Caucasian Knot article "Three Comrades Served: How the Authorities Are Depriving the Families of Slain Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of the slain soldiers. In particular, the widow of one of the slain soldiers said that without a body, the battalion did not make payments for the death of the soldier.
