Explosion Kills Russian Air Commander Who Lay Siege to Ukrainian City
Major Zaur Gurtsiyev, who commanded Russian air operations during the brutal siege of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, was killed in an explosion in Russia's Stavropol. Russia's Investigative Committee named Gurtsiyev, 34, as one of the two male victims in the blast on Wednesday night, which they believe was caused by an improvised explosive device. "Investigators are considering all possible versions of the crime, including a terrorist act," the committee said in a post on Telegram. Gurtsiyev had also served as deputy mayor of Stavropol. "Of course, there are no words in the world that could ease the grief of our colleague's and comrade's relatives today. We mourn together as a team," Stavropol Mayor Ivan Ulyanchenko posted on Telegram. "We will provide all the necessary support to his family." This is a developing article and more information will be added soon.
