378 missing persons have been removed from the wanted list in the Kursk region.

378 people have been excluded from the register of missing residents of the Kursk region, all of them have been found, acting head of the region Alexander Khinshtein said on March 15.

He noted that due to the massive return of people from the liberated settlements of the Kursk region, the register of missing persons is being adjusted.

"At the moment, 378 names have been excluded from the register of persons with whom relatives have lost contact — these people have been found! The list of wanted residents, thank God, is gradually decreasing!" wrote Khinstein in his Telegram channel.

The acting governor added that residents may worry because the status of their loved one in the registry does not change, although they know for sure that he has returned.

"In order to remove a person from the wanted list, police officers need to stop the search case — to interview relatives, obtain the necessary documents, and make absolutely and completely sure that the person has been found. I hope for the understanding of the Kuryans — our residents have not been forgotten," he said.

"The task is to finally defeat the enemy in the Kursk region as soon as possible"
