Authored by kyivindependent.com

Aleksey Kolomeitsev, a Russian colonel who trained specialists in the use of attack drones, was killed in the city of Kolomna in Moscow Oblast, Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) reported on Sept. 28.

Kolomeitsev, 51, led Russia's 924th State Center of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), a military unit responsible for training specialists to operate combat drones.

The unit specialized in the use of Shahed drones, which Russia employs daily in mass aerial attacks against Ukraine.

The Russian colonel was "directly involved in Russia's full-scale invasion and war crimes against Ukraine," HUR said.

Kolomeitsev is not the first Russian to die in similar circumstances in recent weeks – HUR said on Sept. 16 that a Kremlin propagandist had been killed in the Russian city of Belgorod.

In a post on Telegram, HUR claimed Aleksandr Korobov died on Sept. 15 after his skull was "crushed.".

According to Russian news outlets, Korobov was heavily injured in an apparent assassination attempt. »
