A plane carrying the owner of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, allegedly crashed in the Tver region of Russia

This was reported by Russian propaganda media with reference to Rosaviation.

In addition, Russian propaganda claims that Wagner's commander, Dmitry Utkin, was also allegedly on board.

One of the reasons for the downing of the plane was a supposed terrorist attack on board. Some Russian channels claim that it was shot down by air defence systems.

After that, another plane flying along with the downed one turned back to Moscow and disappeared from FlightRadar. The Embraer ERJ-135BJ with the number RA-02748 is also allegedly owned by Prigozhin.
