Ukrainian military eliminated a Russian radio reconnaissance officer hiding in the trash.

Aerial reconnaissance units of the 'Gurza' battalion of unmanned systems, together with neighboring units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, discovered and destroyed a concealed bunker with Russians in the Toretsk direction. This was reported by the 28th separate mechanized brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign.

During a flight in the Toretsk direction, the scouts found a bunker camouflaged in trash, where Russian soldiers were hiding. It later turned out that there was not only an ordinary soldier but also a Russian radio reconnaissance officer there.

The Ukrainian military killed several Russians and destroyed all equipment with precise strikes. The officer tried to call for an evacuation group to escape the scene but was soon apprehended.

'The occupiers had no Time to escape. They were surrounded on all sides by Ukrainian soldiers. Although they managed to shoot down one of the guns, the pilots provided enough time for other groups of militants and mortars. The battalions of the 28th brigade and neighboring units from the 93rd OMBr, the radio reconnaissance officer, and special forces eliminated the occupiers' unit,' the report states.

Earlier, Russian athlete and occupier Andriy Khoryloyev was eliminated.

It was reported that in the Kursk region, the occupier Oleksandr Rudy was eliminated - a two-time world champion, four-time European champion, and multiple champion of Russia in shotokan karate-do.

Notably, Rudy was awarded the sports title of international class master of sports.

Currently, accurate information about Rudy's death is absent on social media, Russian media, and sports federation websites. This may be related to the fact that he was eliminated in the Kursk region.

On February 2, a tournament dedicated to the memory of the occupier Rudy took place in Russian Maykop. The Russians first noted in a comment on the tournament video that the invader was eliminated on the territory of the Kursk region.
