 Wagner soldiers have issued a menacing threat to Vladimir Putin just hours after their mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was reportedly killed in a plane crash in Russia. The 62-year-old was on board his private jet when it plummeted to the ground around 60 miles north of Moscow, Russian officials claim. All 10 people travelling on the aircraft are said to be dead after Russia's aviation authority released a list of names of the victims. Dmitry Ukin, the Wagner Group's co-founder and Prigozhin's 'right-hand man', was also among those killed when the Embraer jet suddenly dropped out of the sky. Speculation has been swirling over whether or not the warlord was actually on the plane, which was travelling from Moscow to St Petersburg. The crash near the village of Kuzhenkino in the Tver region immediately raised suspicions given it happened exactly two months after Prigozhin led a short-lived mutiny against Vladimir Putin. And Wagner fighters have warned that their boss 'better be alive' or they will launch a second 'march of justice' on the Russian capital city of Moscow, reports The Sun.

'We directly say that we suspect the Kremlin officials led by Putin of an attempt to kill him.
