In this regard, an American official told Al-Jazeera television: We are investigating more than one hypothesis about the cause of the crash of the plane carrying Yevgeny Prigogine, and we have not yet reached the final conclusion. (What we now surmise is) that no missile was launched and there is no evidence that Prigozhin’s plane was targeted by surface-to-air anti-aircraft missiles (from Moscow). The explosion inside Prigozhin’s plane is the main hypothesis and may have been caused by a bomb.
US officials told Reuters on Thursday that the United States is investigating a number of hypotheses about what caused the plane carrying Yevgeny Prigozhin to crash, including a surface-to-air missile strike.
U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a surface-to-air missile from within Russia may have caused the incident and may have brought down the plane, according to Reuters.
These officials emphasized that their mentioned information was still preliminary and under investigation, and therefore they did not rule out changes in their evaluations.
The American newspaper Wall Street Journal also reported a different theory today: it is possible that a bomb on the plane or another sabotage caused the plane to crash.
As the Federal Aviation Agency of Russia announced last night, the name of Wagner commander Yevgeny Prigozhin was among the passengers of the plane that crashed in north of Moscow. The Russian Civil Aviation Organization published the terms of all the passengers of the plane that crashed in the north of Moscow, among which the names of Prigozhin and his deputy Otkin were also seen.
Russia’s Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that Yevgeny Prigozhin was on board the plane that crashed in Russia’s Tor region.
Also, the channel belonging to the Wagner Group in Telegram confirmed the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the commander of this group, in an air crash in the north of Moscow.
