At least 4,460 fighters from the North Caucasus Federal District and 4,590 from the Southern Federal District have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Danil Shepilov, born in 2000, was killed in the military operation. The funeral will take place on May 8 in Mozdok, the Mozdok District Administration announced on its Telegram channel on May 7.

The administration did not provide details about the soldier's biography or death, noting only that he died "while performing combat missions."

Thus, at least 586 soldiers from North Ossetia have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

The "Caucasian Knot" is maintaining 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 Ossetian Military District Statistics: Casualties Are Mounting for Southern Russia."

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 Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of soldiers from other regions. "The combat veteran's certificate was issued only because Vasily had served in the Airborne Forces for three months under contract from the military unit in Odintsovo," a relative of one of them said.
