Deputy head of Russian Navy killed by Ukraine in Kursk area, says Moscow

  • Major General Mikhail Gudkov, who served as the second-in-command of Russia’s naval forces, was killed on Wednesday during military operations in the western part of the Kursk region near the border with Ukraine.
  • His death occurred after a Ukrainian assault targeted a Russian command center in Korenevo, located approximately 30 kilometers from the border, during the ongoing fighting following Ukraine’s unexpected offensive in Kursk in August 2024.
  • In March 2025, President Putin named Gudkov to a top leadership role in the Russian Navy; he also commanded a marine brigade from Russia's Pacific Fleet engaged in the conflict in Ukraine.
  • Oleg Kozhemyako, governor of Russia's Primorsky region, confirmed Gudkov's death, saying he died carrying out his duty and expressing condolences to the families of the dead servicemen.
  • Gudkov's death marks a significant loss for Moscow's military leadership, highlighting continued violent clashes along the Russia-Ukraine border with no official Ukrainian comment on the strike.
