Three fighters from Dagestan were killed in a military operation.
Islamudin Sultanov, Samrat Murtuzaliev, and Shamil Suleimangadzhiev were killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 1,791 fighters from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by January 30, at least 1,788 fighters from Dagestan had been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.
The Kayakent District Administration reported on its Telegram channel that mobilized soldier Islamudin Sultanov was killed in the military operation. His date of death is April 10, 2024. He was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage. He is survived by two sons, according to a report on the unveiling of a desk named after him at the school where the fighter studied.
Previously, district authorities reported that mobilized Samrat Murtuzaliev and Shamil Suleimangadzhiev were killed in the military operation in Ukraine.
Thus, at least 1,791 fighters from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.
On December 26, 2025, authorities in the Kayakent district reported that Murad Badirkhanov, a native of the village of Novokayakent, was 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 security 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 the Authorities Are Depriving the Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of fighters from other regions. Thus, the mother of the murdered Dmitry Ukhanov said that she searched for her son's body for four months, and the administration and military registration and enlistment office staff inquired about the search progress from her without providing any assistance.
