  • A senior Russian military officer was killed on Friday after a car exploded in the town of Balashikha in the Moscow region, Russian news outlets Mash and Shot reported. Mash named the officer as Yaroslav Moskalik, deputy head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces. Reuters could not verify Mash's assertion.

A senior Russian military officer, Major-General Vladimir Zavadsky, was killed in Ukraine while leading a combat mission, as reported by Russia's Defense Ministry on November 28, 2023. Zavadsky, who commanded a regiment within the 14th Army Corps of the Northern Fleet, was fatally wounded during a mission to evacuate wounded soldiers from the battlefield. His death marks him as the eighth Russian general known to have been killed since the start of the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, highlighting the ongoing heavy toll on Russian military leadership in the conflict.
