On the 23rd local time, according to TASS citing the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, a private plane crashed in the Rostyville Oblast of Russia, causing 10 deaths.
TASS quoted the Russian Aviation Administration as reporting that the founder of the Wagner Group, Prigoren, a private military contractor in Russia, was on the passenger list of the crashed plane. But it cannot be confirmed whether Prigoren himself will board the plane.
According to the footage displayed by Flight Radar24, another plane belonging to Prigoren originally took off after the crashed plane, but later turned around over Moscow and landed at other Russian airports. There are reports that Prigoren is skilled at confusing others, and he may have used personal information to check in on a crashed plane, but he was on another plane.
The news department of the Russian government in Rostyville stated that on August 23rd, a civilian plane crashed in the village of Kurenkino in the city of Bologye in the state. At present, law enforcement agencies and emergency department personnel are conducting on-site work. The detailed situation of the plane crash and the number of casualties are still being verified.
