Komsomolskaya Pravda removed the high numbers from its website and issued a statement claiming it had been hacked.
A Pro-Kremlin tabloid on Monday reported that nearly 10,000 Russian troops have been killed in the war in Ukraine – before the publication removed the figure and claimed it had been hacked.
The Putin-friendly Komsomolskaya Pravda, citing the Russian Ministry of Defense, reported that 9,861 Russian troops had died and that 16,153 had been wounded in Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion on Feb. 24. It’s unclear whether the numbers tolls were accurate. The staggering figures were far higher than any previous numbers released by Russia since the conflict began.
On March 2, the last official death toll released by Russia, the country said that 498 Russians had been killed in action and 1,597 injured.dpa/picture alliance via Getty I A corpse of a dead Russian soldier lays in the field near Sytnyaky, Ukraine, Saturday, March 5, 2022.
