A Russian Major General, Anton Grunis, commander of the 4th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, was reportedly killed in Ukraine. The commander's elimination was confirmed by SBS commander "Madyar," who shared footage of a strike on Grunis's command post in Donetsk Oblast on September 12.

The post noted that Grunis had received the title "Hero of Russia" in late August for the "occupation" of Kostiantynivka, which remains under Ukrainian control.
