Russia’s missing An-2 plane found, all aboard alive
The missing An-2 light aircraft, which disappeared in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula has been found with all three people aboard alive, local authorities said on Sunday.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led a mercenary group in Russia, lost his life in a plane crash along with nine others. Prigozhin had recently attempted a short-lived rebellion against President Vladimir Putin.
Yevgeny Prigozhin threatened to march on Moscow in order to remove Russia’s defence minister, an action that infuriated President Vladimir Putin, who vowed to punish those who “betrayed” Russia. But after just 36 hours of this conflict, Prigozhin consented to a deal that would see him move to Belarus.

The Kremlin said, “he would not be prosecuted as a result, and neither would his loyal troops. Those who wished to could sign contracts to join the regular Russian armed forces.”
