A fighter from Dagestan was killed in the SVO zone.

Gadzhi Dibirov was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 1,558 fighters from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by September 17, at least 1,557 fighters from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine.

Gadzhi Dibirov was killed in a military operation in Ukraine, the Gunibsky District administration announced, reporting on the presentation of the Order of Courage to his mother and the unveiling of a memorial plaque on the school where he taught before leaving for the SVO zone.

Gadzhi Dibirov volunteered for the SVO zone under contract. He died in September 2024 in the Donetsk People's Republic (town of Soledar, Artemovsky District). He was 40 years old. Gadzhi is survived by a 13-year-old son, the statement said.

Thus, at least 1,558 fighters from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation. 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 was compiled based on data officially released by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Northern Military District Statistics: Losses Are 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 Depriving Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of fighters from other regions.
