Major General Mikhail Gudkov reportedly died after a Ukrainian missile strike on a field HQ

The deputy commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, Major General Mikhail Gudkov, has been killed while serving in Kursk Region on the border with Ukraine, the Russian Ministry of Defense has reported.

Gudkov's death was first reported by Primorye Governor Oleg Kozhemyako. In a post on Telegram, he expressed deep condolences to the families and friends of Gudkov, as well as the other soldiers who were reportedly killed in a Ukrainian missile strike on a marines' field headquarters.

"He was a strong-willed warrior who could not imagine himself anywhere except the navy," the governor wrote. He added that despite having become the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, Gudkov continued to pay personal visits to the marines.

Gudkov was appointed to his post in March of this year. He previously led the 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet. In 2023, he was awarded the title of Hero of Russia. He was also commended for his courage, heroism, and organizational skills in liberating Russia's Kursk Region from invading Ukrainian forces.

According to the Argumenty i Fakty newspaper, citing unofficial sources, Gudkov was killed in a Ukrainian missile attack on a Marines' forward headquarters in Kursk Region on Wednesday. The strike reportedly involved at least four enemy missiles that were fired upon a field command post in the area of the village of Korenevo.
