A Russian-installed official in Ukraine’s southern Kherson region was killed in a pinpoint strike by Ukraine using the U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), local officials said.
Alexei Katerinichev, who served as the first deputy head of the Kremlin-appointed administration of the Kherson region, was killed on Friday, Kirill Stremousov, the deputy head of the Moscow-controlled region, said.
“[Alexei] Katerinichev died as a result of a pinpoint strike from HIMARS. Two rockets hit the house in which he was,” Stremousov was cited by Russia’s state-run news agency Tass as saying.
Alexander Malkevich, a member of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, an oversight committee, also confirmed Katerinichev’s death in a statement on his Telegram channel.
“Tonight, as a result of a terrorist strike by a guided missile of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the center of Kherson, Alexei Katerinichev, the first deputy head of the Kherson regional military administration for security, was killed,” Malkevich wrote.
Katerinichev had held the position in occupied Kherson for one and a half months, Malkevich noted.
Newsweek has contacted Russian and Ukrainian authorities for comment.
Seems kinda expensive for one cockroach. I guess it sends a warning to others
I agree. I just hope that many other orcs were eliminated by that strike. Shit nuggets like Katerinichev are always around many other shit nuggets. Maybe they even visited an ammo dump.
“Katerinichev had held the position in occupied Kherson for one and a half months, Malkevich noted.”
He did well, he lasted a month longer than most. You would think the orcs would get the message by now, but they keep finding idiots from somewhere. There is a Himars missile with Stremousov’s name on it, let’s hope he takes delivery of one soon.
