There are fears Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin is dead in a plane crash north of Moscow, international media reports.

Multiple media channels have reported that Prigozhin, who posted the first video today since falling out with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, could be dead because his name is listed on a manifest of the plane that went down.

At least ten people have been confirmed dead after the private jet crashed north of Moscow – with the Russian Civil Aviation Authority saying Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list.

Seven passengers and three crew were on board the Embraer aircraft, which was en route from Moscow to St Petersburg, according to TASS news agency as quoted by Sky News.
