A private plane believed to be transporting Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has crashed in Russia.
Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is feared dead after a plane – with his name on the passenger list - crashed in Russia tonight, two months after his failed coup attempt against Putin.
The plane, which had Prigozhin named as a passenger on its flight list, was later reported to be engulfed in fire, as images on social media claimed to show the wreckage Prigozhin, 62, has been increasingly careful since he led a coup against Putin's regime exactly two months ago. But sources close to him said that while the aircraft belonged to him, he usually flew on another aircraft.
