TL;DR Summary

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary organization, has been confirmed dead after his plane crashed in what appeared to be an explosion. Genetic testing confirmed his identity along with the other nine bodies recovered from the crash site. The cause of the crash remains unknown, but suspicions of a Kremlin-orchestrated hit have been raised. Prigozhin recently led a mutiny against Russia's military but reached a deal with the Kremlin to avoid charges and resettle in Belarus. His second-in-command and the group's logistics mastermind were also killed in the crash.
