US intelligence: Plane crash that killed Wagner Group leader deliberately caused by explosion
US intelligence has found that the plane crash that killed Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner Group, was caused by an intentional explosion. This aligns with Russian President Vladimir Putin's history of suppressing dissenting voices. The incident occurred after a rebellion that posed a threat to Putin's leadership. The US assessment comes as Putin offers condolences, implying recognition of the gravity of the situation.
