Russian paramilitary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is believed to have been killed after a plane in which he was"listed among the passengers" crashed in Russia on Wednesday, according to state media.
“Yevgeny Prigozhin was listed among the passengers on the plane that crashed in the Tver region,” according to an unofficial translation of a TASS report. “In the plane that crashed in the Tver region, among the passengers was Yevgeny Prigozhin - Rosaviatsia.”The incident comes just two months after the longtime Wagner Group chief led his forces in an brief but tumultuous march towards Moscow in June, with the stated goal of ousting Russian defense leaders.
“PMC Wagner… makes Russia even greater on all continents, and Africa more free,” Prigozhin said in a video published this week. “We’re recruiting real heroes and continue to carry out the tasks that have been set and that we promised to deal with."This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
