Maj Gen Mikhail Gudkov, a deputy commander of the Russian navy, was confirmed killed in a Ukrainian missile attack on his headquarters in the Kursk region. He led the 155th marine brigade, which had been heavily reconstituted due to significant casualties. Reports suggest the position was compromised due to poor security measures. Governor Oleg Kozhemyako noted Gudkov's dedication to duty, frequently visiting marine positions. The attack resulted in multiple casualties among senior officers and raised concerns about potential insider information aiding the Ukrainian strike.
Maj Gen Mikhail Gudkov, responsible for Russia's marine units, was killed in a Ukrainian missile strike near Kursk. His death has been confirmed by Moscow.
Governor Oleg Kozhemyako stated Gudkov died alongside his fellow soldiers, demonstrating his commitment by visiting frontline positions despite his rank.
Gudkov led the 155th marine brigade, which has faced heavy casualties, and officially served under President Putin’s command after being promoted in March.
The attack on the base where Gudkov died may have been facilitated by security lapses or insider information, with several senior officers also reportedly killed.
