A Russian general, the deputy commander of the Southern Military District, was reportedly killed as a result of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' missile attack on Berdyansk.
Andrei Gurulyov, a member of the Russian State Duma’s Defense Committee and a former military commander, confirmed Tsokov’s death on a state-run political talk show that aired Tuesday evening, SIA reports.
Lieutenant General Oleg Tsokov was targeted in a Monday night missile strike on a hotel in the Russian-occupied resort city of Berdiansk, according to Petro Andryushchenko, an aide to Mariupol's Ukrainian mayor now operating outside the Russian-held city.
“It was known for some time that the enemy's military leadership was living there,” Andryushchenko said on the Telegram messaging app.
“Tsokov died a heroic death,” the lawmaker said.
Russian military authorities have yet to comment on Tsokov’s reported death.
