The name of the killed fighter from Dagestan in Ukraine has been announced.

Said Saidov from the Laksky district was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, authorities have publicly named at least 2174 combatants from Dagestan.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", by October 21, authorities and security forces officially recognized at least 2173 military personnel from Dagestan as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

The administration of the Laksky district of the republic reported that Said Saidov, a native of Dagestan, was killed in the combat zone in Ukraine.

Officials reported the transfer of a posthumous award to the relatives of the deceased – Saidov was awarded the Order of Courage, the official Telegram channel of the municipality reported. The age and details of the biography of the killed serviceman are not provided in the administration's message.

Thus, at least 2174 servicemen from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives from the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District who were killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and security agencies, according to the report from "Caucasian Knot" "Statistics of the Special Military Operation: losses are increasing for southern Russia".

In July, the administration of the Laksky district informed that Aydemir Gadzhiev was killed in the military actions in Ukraine.

Dagestan ranks first among the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District in the number of killed in the military operation whose names have been officially disclosed by the authorities. In February 2022, Sergey Melikov, who was then the head of Dagestan, was the first among the representatives of the authorities to report that a Russian military officer, Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov, was killed in Ukraine.

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, as stated in the material from "Caucasian Knot" "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Deny Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers", which describes the stories of the killed fighters.
