Fighters from the combined drone unit of the Active Operations Department of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR) eliminated the son of a Russian general during a strike on the Russian positions in the Zaporizhzhia direction.
During aerial reconnaissance, Ukrainian intelligence officers detected the position of Russian military drone operators near the village of Plavni in the Vasylivka district. Based on the coordinates received, a guided aerial bomb was dropped on the Russian troops.
At the moment of the strike, Russian Lieutenant Vasily Marzoev, commander of a platoon of the 108th Parachute Regiment of the 7th Airborne Assault Division of the Russian army, was at the position. He was killed along with other Russian troops.
The eliminated Marzoev turned out to be the son of Lieutenant General Arkady Marzoev, commander of the 18th Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District of Russia, who, according to Ukrainian intelligence, is involved in war crimes against the civilian population in Kherson.
Elimination of Marzoev
About a week ago, Russian Lieutenant Vasily Marzoev was eliminated in the temporarily occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region.
Marzoev held the position of commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the 108th Parachute Regiment. He had been involved in hostilities against Ukraine for a long time. After his death, Putin posthumously awarded him the title of Hero of Russia.
