Ukraine Claims Strike of Russian Convoy in Kursk, Seriously Wounding Senior Putin General

Lt. Gen. Abachev, deputy commander of Russia's North Group of Forces, suffered traumatic amputations in a Ukrainian strike amid Kyiv's strategy to disrupt Russian military leadership.

  • On Saturday, Ukrainian Forces struck a Russian convoy along the Rylsk-Khomutovka highway in Kursk, seriously wounding Lt-Gen Esedulla Abachev.
  • Strategically, Ukraine is targeting senior Russian commanders to weaken Moscow’s chain of command, GUR said, as part of its broader military strategy.
  • According to the GUR, Abachev was airlifted to Vishnevsky Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow after his arm and leg were amputated following the strike.
  • Alongside the strike, GUR also reported that an ammunition depot was ignited, triggering secondary explosions and killing at least six Russian marines and personnel from the Akhmat-Vostok Chechen unit on Saturday.
  • In total, Western analysts note that by 2025, more than two dozen Russian generals have been confirmed dead, an exceptional occurrence in modern warfare.
