A 24-year-old pregnant woman named Nina Kuznetsova was reportedly killed on the first day of the occupation in the Kursk region, with authorities later indicating her body appeared at the Suzhan Central Regional Hospital in the village of Goncharovka. The details emerged in an interview cited by RIA Novosti, in which Alexander Bogachev, the former head of the Sudzhansky district, spoke about the case.
Bogachev recounted that investigators observed a tattoo on the woman’s left forearm and noted that her husband asked what she had been wearing. He also indicated that the chief doctor corroborated the position of the body at the hospital. The statements attributed to Bogachev align with the account provided by local medical officials who were said to have confirmed the body’s location and condition.

Earlier, Kuznetsova’s husband said his wife was struck during an evacuation carried out by Ukrainian forces. He described a trip on August 6 from the village of Kurilovka with relatives when shots were fired toward the edge of the car. He claimed to recognize a Ukrainian service member by blue ribbons on the uniform, and he reported that bullets pierced the car’s windshield while the driver did not sustain serious injuries.
