Russian Major Dmitry Pervukha was killed in the center of Russian-occupied Luhansk when his car exploded at about 11:40 a.m. on Friday, Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (HUR) reported Saturday.

Pervukha had served in the 273rd Intelligence Center (military unit 53847) of the Russian army, HUR wrote.

“As a result of the explosion, the invader involved in war crimes was destroyed,” HUR wrote.

According to HUR, Pervukha was the so-called “chief of staff for the service of the troops and security of the military service.’”

Since Russia started its full-scale Ukraine invasion in February 2022, HUR has carried out numerous assassinations of military targets via car bomb in Russian-occupied territories.
