Yevgeny Prigozhin: What we know so far as Wagner boss reportedly killed in plane crash - BBC News

Wagner mercenary group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is presumed to have been killed in a plane crash north of Moscow, alongside his right-hand-man Dmitry Utkin and eight others.

Russian president Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin have yet to comment on the death, while western leaders have been briefed on the crash.

Wagner members and supporters have been paying tribute to Prigozhin, laying flowers at temporary shrines, while questions remain about the mercenary group’s future – particularly in Africa where they have thousands of fighters.
