Mercenary boss seizes southern city in Russia's first insurrection for decades
Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin launched an armed mutiny, seizing control of Rostov-on-Don and military facilities in Voronezh, accusing the Russian military of incompetence and a deadly air strike on his forces.
Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the mutiny as treason, vowing to crush the insurrection and deliver harsh punishment to all involved.
Prigozhin defied Putin, asserting his forces were patriots fighting corruption, and threatened to advance on Moscow if his demands for military leadership changes were not met.
The unprecedented challenge to the Russian state drew close monitoring from Western capitals, with Britain calling it the "most significant challenge" in recent times.

Jet nosedives and erupts into fireball near busy roadway in South Florida. All 9 on board died
A business jet carrying nine people nose-dived into a South Florida neighborhood, erupting into a giant fireball and killing everyone on board.
The aircraft narrowly missed homes and vehicles near a busy roadway, leaving a large crater and engulfing the crash site in thick black smoke.
Pilots reported severe turbulence and ice accumulation, followed by an alarming, uncontrolled descent and distress calls before the fatal impact.
Federal agencies, including the FAA and NTSB, are actively investigating the "horrific tragedy" to determine the exact cause, with no immediate reports of ground injuries.
