Kremlin propagandist attacked in Russia, possibly killed, Ukraine's intelligence reports.

Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) said on Sept.

16 that a Kremlin propagandist has been killed in the Russian city of Belgorod. In a post on Telegram, HUR said Aleksandr Korobov died on Sept.

15 after his skull was "crushed." According to Russian news outlets, Korobov was heavily injured in an apparent assassination attempt.

The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claim. Korobov - nicknamed "Crab" - appeared as a war correspondent on Kremlin state media channel, Russia 1, and HUR said he also headed its Belgorod branch. "The propagandist not only prepared false materials about the war, but also personally participated in the commission of serious war crimes against Ukraine," military intelligence said, adding that Korobov regularly worked in occupied areas of Ukraine.
