Wagner-linked social media channel says Prigozhin has been killed
From Katharina Krebs, Josh Pennington and Mariya Knight
A Telegram social media channel linked to the Wagner private military group has issued a statement saying Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has been killed in a plane crash north of Moscow.
The channel has previously carried Wagner propaganda videos, and Prigozhin's official press service has linked to it in the past.
CNN is unable to confirm the assertion. Other channels associated with Prigozhin and Wagner, including his official Telegram channel, have remained silent.
A well-known but unofficial Russian Telegram channel that has been close to Wagner operations, Grey Zone, also claimed that Prigozhin had been killed.
