Putin Links Hand Grenades to Wagner Mercenary Chief's Plane Crash

Russian President Vladimir Putin suggests that the plane crash that killed Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary force, was caused by hand grenades detonated inside the aircraft, rather than being shot down by a missile. Putin claims that fragments of hand grenades were found in the bodies of those killed in the crash and dismisses claims by US officials. He also criticizes investigators for not conducting alcohol and drug tests on the crash victims. Putin further alleges that searches of Wagner's offices turned up large amounts of cash and cocaine. The fate of Wagner remains uncertain following Prigozhin's death.
