Russia plane crash: What now for Wagner after Prigozhin’s reported death? – BBC News
Yevgeny Prigozhin spent almost a decade building the Wagner paramilitary group.
It became central to Russia’s war effort in Ukraine and Prigozhin’s troops helped to spread Russian influence across the globe, propping up allies of President Vladimir Putin in Africa and Syria.
Now his reported death has sparked a flurry of speculation about the group’s future.
Western security officials are wondering who will take his place and what will happen to the mercenaries he once led.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

take the traitor's chance when he is given a glass of wine and then stab him. The silent strategy is to finish off political opponents. Putin's smart strategy

The president of Belarus was involved in the liberation of the Wagner rebellion. And he promised Putin he would finish him off after Prigozine calmed down in an agreement not to attack the Cremline with his troops. because that's the best way to trick the Wagner traitors

I don't think he was there. It seems he is on a secret mission to destabilize USA forces in Africa. They sacrificed people to hide his disappearence. Maybe, just maybe

I said it Prigozhin would be killed for his mutiny against Putin. U don't go up against Putin and live to speak about it. He was always going to kill the man.

Hey BBC, Don't go spreading conspiracy theories now. We all know that governments never conspire to do terrible things. Talking about conspiracies is something Qanon for the "Far right" would do.

I think sometimes you news media journalists think were stupid out here. You know a plane like that just does not fall out of the sky leaving a smoking trail even if it breaks up. This plane just blew up and fell straight down without wings. It was shot out of the sky or a well placed explosive was at fault. This was no accident. The possibility that the Wagner Chief is still alive is very real. Wagner forces building on Polands Border is also not a mere coincidence 🤔 🤔🙄

0:00: 💥 Speculation arises that the Russian FSB intelligence service orchestrated a plane crash, possibly on the orders of Vladimir Putin, but Putin's statement shows no indication of his involvement.
3:55: 🛩 There is speculation that the Russian authorities were involved in the plane crash, possibly as a message to prevent armed insurrections.
8:09: 💣 The investigation into the plane crash in Russia is ongoing, with theories including a bomb or surface-to-air missile as potential causes.
9:35: 💥 The downing of the plane carrying Wagner figures sends a powerful message and strengthens Putin's position.
