General's death
The last post is the commander of the 42nd Army Corps in the North Caucasus Military District . The headquarters of the corps was stationed in Vladikavkaz . Corps units were at the epicenter of the Ossetian-Ingush ethnic conflict . Both warring parties attacked military units and depots and took hostages hostage. Major General Koretsky actively participated in the negotiations on the release of the hostages and in attempts to peacefully resolve the conflict, while opposing attempts to use military units against any of the conflicting parties.
On August 1, 1993, together with the head of the Provisional Administration in the conflict zone, Viktor Polyanichko, General Koretsky went to negotiate with the Ingush field commanders. In a suburb of Vladikavkaz, in the vicinity of the village of Tarskoye in the Prigorodny district of North Ossetia , the car was shot at from an ambush by unknown people.
