Ukrainian Drone Forces Report Killing of Russian Major General Anton Grunis
Ukrainian drone forces, led by commander Robert Brovdi, claimed to have killed Russian Major General Anton Grunis in a nighttime strike on September 12 in the Donetsk region. Grunis, recently awarded the Hero of Russia, was noted for reporting military operations directly to President Putin. Russia's Defense Ministry does not routinely confirm such deaths, but a Russian commander acknowledged Grunis's death without details. The incident occurs amid ongoing conflict over strategic cities like Kostiantynivka in eastern Ukraine.
