Four soldiers from the Rostov region were killed in Ukraine.

Alexander Bakhtin, Andrei Volkov, and two of their fellow countrymen from the Volgodonsk region were killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, authorities have officially recognized at least 762 combatants from the Rostov region as killed there.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by November 3, government and security officials had officially recognized more than 7,850 fighters from southern Russia as killed in the military operation, including 758 from the Rostov region.

The Volgodonsk region administration announced the names of four servicemen from the Rostov region killed in Ukraine, reporting on the presentation of posthumous awards to their relatives.

Alexander Bakhtin, Yevgeny Utkin, and Danil Teslya were posthumously awarded the Order of Courage, and Andrei Volkov received the Medal "For Bravery," according to a post on the municipality's official Telegram channel.

The ages and biographical details of the slain soldiers were not disclosed in the statement. Volkov's and Bakhtin's awards were given to their mothers, Utkin's order was presented to the slain man's wife, and Teslya's order was presented to his minor son "represented by his legal representative," the statement said.

Thus, at least 762 soldiers from the Rostov region have been officially recognized as killed in the war zone in Ukraine. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts killed in the military operation. The list was compiled based on data officially announced by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Statistics of the Central Military District: Losses are growing for the south of Russia".
