"Our initial assessment is that it's likely Prigozhin was killed. We're continuing to assess the situation," said Air Force Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon's press secretary."The press reporting stating that there was some type of surface-to-air missile that took down the plane, we assess that information to be inaccurate.
