Wagner chief claims to control military facilities in Russian city amid ‘armed rebellion’ charge, clash with military leadership
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced “anti-terrorist measures” aimed at strengthening security in Moscow, including road controls and a limit on events. At the same time, Russia’s national anti-terrorism committee announced a counterterrorism operation, meaning increased security measures.
Prigozhin said Friday that a Wagner camp in Ukraine had been attacked “from the rear,” resulting in “many victims,” and accused the Russian military of carrying out the strike. The Washington Post could not immediately verify his allegations. Russia’s Defense Ministry denied the accusations in a Telegram post, calling them a “provocation,” and a state TV presenter said a video Prigozhin had released claiming an alleged Russian military strike on the Wagner camp appeared to have been staged.Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced “anti-terrorist measures” aimed at strengthening security in Moscow, including road controls and a limit on events.
