Soviet records report 792 killed or missing and 3,279 wounded, while Japanese casualties were 1,439 with 526 killed or missing and 913 wounded. The faults of the Soviet army were blamed on Marshal Blyukher, who was later arrested and believed tortured to death.

    Consequences
    More than 6,500 Soviet officers and soldiers were awarded the orders, decorations, and medals of the Soviet Union; 26 of
    them were awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union, and 95 were awarded the Order of Lenin.
    Soviet losses totalled 792 killed or missing and 3,279 wounded or sick, according to their records and the Japanese
    claimed to have destroyed or immobilized 96 enemy tanks and 30 guns. Soviet armoured losses were significant, with
    dozens of tanks being knocked out or destroyed and hundreds of "tank troops" becoming casualties. Japanese casualties,
    as revealed by secret Army General Staff statistics, were 1,439 casualties (526 killed or missing, 913 wounded); the
    Soviets claimed Japanese losses of 3,100, with 600 killed and 2,500 wounded. The Soviets concluded that this was
    because of poor communications infrastructure and roads as well as the loss of unit conference due to poor organization,
    headquarters and commanders and a lack of combat supply units. The faults in the Soviet army and leadership at Khasan
    were blamed on the incompetence of Marshal Blyukher. Vasily Blyukher, apart from leading the troops into action at
    Khasan, was also supposed to oversee the trans-Baikal military district's and the far eastern fronts move to combat
    readiness using an administrative apparatus that delivered army group, army and corps level instructions to the 40th rifle
    division by accident. On 22 October, he was arrested by the NKVD and is thought to have been tortured to death.
    The Japanese military, while seriously analyzing the results of the battle, engaged with the Soviets once more, with
    disastrous results, in the more extensive Battle of Khalkhin Gol (Nomonhan) in the Soviet-Japanese border conflict of
    1939. This second engagement resulted in the defeat of the Japanese Sixth Army. After World War II, at the International
    Military Tribunal for the Far East in 1946, thirteen high-ranking Japanese officials were charged with crimes against
    peace for their roles in initiating hostilities at Lake Khasan.
