According to Russia's emergency ministry, Yevgeny Prigozhin of Wagner PMC, died in an airplane crash on 23 August 2023. The airplane was en route from Moscow to Saint Petersburg when it crashed, killing all 10 people on board. Russian state-owned media agency TASS reported that Prigozhin had been on the passenger list of the flight. The passengers' deaths were officially confirmed by the Investigative Committee of Russia on 27 August, following genetic analysis of the remains recovered from the wreckage. A Wagner-associated Telegram channel claimed the jet was shot down by Russian air defenses over Tver Oblast. This assertion was contested due to the lack of visible missile trails in the released footage. According to U.S. and other Western officials, "preliminary intelligence reports led them to believe that an explosion on board likely brought down the aircraft in Russia, killing all the passengers aboard." |
