Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has reportedly died in a plane crash. Where did it happen and how is the world reacting?

ABC  

Russia's most powerful mercenary, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was on board a plane that crashed north of Moscow on Wednesday evening, leaving no survivors, Russian authorities say. A second private jet linked to Prigozhin also appeared to be heading to St Petersburg, which is Prigozhin's home base. "The demonstrative elimination of Prigozhin and the Wagner command two months after the coup attempt is a signal from Putin to Russia's elites ahead of the 2024 elections. Former senior CIA operations officer Daniel Hoffman, who served as the agency’s Moscow station chief, says he has no doubt Prigozhin's death came "on Putin's orders".
