Details : The UA_REG TEAM unit of Ukraine's Special Operations Forces carried out a strike on a vehicle in which Abachev, the deputy commander of the Sever (North) group of Russian forces, was travelling on the night of 16-17 August. The operation took place 5 km from the city of Rylsk in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.

The general was airlifted to Moscow, where he reportedly had to have an arm and a leg amputated due to his injuries.

In their statement, the Special Operations Forces note that in 2023, the Ukrainian Prosecutor’s Office filed charges against Abachev in court. Following the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Abachev commanded the so-called 2nd Army Corps of the People’s Militias of the "Luhansk People’s Republic," a Russian-backed terror group. He gave direct orders to bomb settlements in Luhansk Oblast to destruction.
