Russian President Vladimir Putin is addressing the nation Saturday, after mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin called for armed rebellion.
The Wagner group also claimed it had taken control of Russian military facilities in a second city, Voronezh, some 600 kilometers to the north of Rostov-on-don."The situation in Rostov-on-Don remains difficult during the armed uprising. In Rostov, the work of civil and military administration is basically blocked," Putin said, adding that "decisive action" would be taken.
Russia's domestic intelligence service, Federal Security Service , responded on Friday, urging Wagner fighters to detain their leader and opening a criminal case against the militia boss accusing him of "calling for an armed rebellion." Authorities in the capital Moscow, meanwhile, tightened its security measures.
The Russian National Anti-Terrorism Committee also announced the introduction of a counter-terrorist operation regime in Moscow, the Moscow region and Voronezh region. In the first suggestion of open armed conflict between the two sides Saturday morning, Prigozhin on Saturday said his units were hit by a helicopter on a highway. It's unclear exactly where the units were.
In Moscow, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said Saturday on Telegram that "anti-terrorist" measures to strengthen security were being carried out in the capital as a result of "incoming information."
