A Ukrainian military source said that an associate of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov had been liquidated. It is noted that Adam Delimkhanov with his Chechen detachment was in the Zaporozhye region.

"Kadyrov's associate Delimkhanov - minus. Killed ... I have already written that the intelligence of the special unit "Bandarlogi" is very cool. So here's some incredible news from the guys. Kadyrov's right-hand man in Primorsk, Delimkhanov, was killed. Other people close to Kadyrov and about two hundred other personnel were killed with him," Kirill Sazonov, a journalist, political expert and volunteer for the Ukrainian armed forces, said on Facebook.

According to him, Ukrainian intelligence was searching for an accumulation of Russian equipment and came across a motorcade in SUVs.

The Russian side confirmed the wounding, but not the death of Adam Delikhanov. "Adam Sultanovich Delimkhanov, a State Duma deputy and deputy chairman of the Government of the Chechen Republic, was wounded in the area of the special operation," the State Duma press service said, adding that Delimkhanov "was wounded, but he is alive."
