Intelligence officers of the 225th Assault Regiment eliminated the deputy commander of the 69th Guards Motor Rifle Division of the Russian Federation.

This was reported on the regiment’s official Telegram page.

The brigade’s press service did not disclose the location and date of the incident, but considering that the regiment is defending positions in the Kursk region, the elimination may have occurred in this area.

Major Yuriy Lomkin, deputy battalion commander of the 83rd Motor Rifle Regiment (unit 52034) of the 69th Guards Motor Rifle Division of the Russian Armed Forces, was neutralized.

He was born on May 5, 1975, and was 50 years old at the time of his liquidation.

According to the assault regiment, the commander was neutralized with important documents, which, in addition to identifying him, helped the defenders obtain valuable information about the enemy.

“A career officer who did nothing good during his life but became useful after his death helped us with information about his ‘colleagues.’ There may be good news soon,” the 225th Regiment wrote.

Among the documents found on the major, the defenders discovered a passport, insurance policy, military ID, and driver’s license. His place of residence and activity was listed as Saint Petersburg or the surrounding region.

Militarnyi previously reported that on December 30, 2024, the Ukrainian Defense Forces killed Russian Lieutenant Colonel Valery Tereshchenko during a missile strike on Lgov.

Tereshchenko was a lieutenant colonel of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division, some of whose units were deployed in the Kursk region.

At the time of the strike, he was in the city of Lgov, which was probably their permanent deployment and command center. From there, they organized and coordinated their actions.

In addition to him, Lieutenant Colonel Pavlo Maletsky was also killed during a missile strike on the permanent deployment point in Luhansk.

He was the commander of the 656th Engineer Battalion of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division.
