A private jet owned by notorious Wagner Group mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has crashed in Russia killing all seven on board. It is unclear if the feared warlord was onboard at the time.

The news is breaking from Russia this afternoon that a possible business jet owned by Prigozhin has plummeted to the ground and exploded in a fireball in the Tver region, northwest of Moscow.


Dramatic footage posted online shows an aircraft plummeting in a straight line from the sky down onto the group, and exploding in flames.

'Wagner has been beheaded': Prigozhin deemed 'assassinated' two months after failed coup

A senior European official surmised to the Washington Examiner that it was an "assassination."

The incident comes just two months after the longtime Wagner Group chief led his forces in a brief but tumultuous march toward Moscow in June, with the stated goal of ousting Russian defense leaders. That abortive uprising was halted within a day, as Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claimed to have brokered an agreement to avert a major confrontation, but Russian President Vladimir Putin's much-publicized promise of safe passage drew skepticism in Kyiv and trans-Atlantic circles.

"It is obvious that Putin does not forgive anyone for his own bestial terror ... and he was waiting for the moment," Mikhail Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, wrote on social media on Wednesday. "It is also obvious that Prigozhin signed a special death warrant for himself the moment he believed in Lukashenko's bizarre 'guarantees' and Putin's equally absurd 'word of honor.' The demonstrative elimination of Prigozhin and the Wagner command two months after the coup attempt is a signal from Putin to Russia's elites ahead of the 2024 elections."
