🚨BREAKING: Claims of a MILITARY COUP In Russia as Wagner Declares WAR on the Russian Ministry of Defense

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Russian mercenary group Wagner, has accused Russia of bombing his military sites in Ukraine.

Despite the Russian Defense Ministry claiming that there is no truth to his claim, Prigozhin has said that 25,000 mercenaries would take part in a military coup organized by him.

"Those who destroyed our guys today, who destroyed tens of thousands of lives of Russian soldiers, will be punished," says Prigozhin.

Igor Girkin, ex-Russian Federal Security Service, has stated “The Military Coup Attempt Has Begun”

Multiple sources are claiming that an emergency statement is being prepared by Russia’s Ministry of Defense

Other sources are claiming that Russia’s National Guard is ON ALERT

Prigozhin, audio message 16 mins ago: "Details start emerging. The Minister of Defence urgently arrived to Rostov in order to conduct an operation to destroy PMC Wagner. He used artillerymen and helicopter pilots covertly to destroy us”.

My thoughts: This is MAJOR. I don't know if a Wagner camp was actually attacked by the Russian military, but there are essentially 3 options I can think of:

1. Yevgeny Prigozhin is falsely claiming his camp got bombed as a pretext for a coup

2. The Kremlin is attacking Wagner. We know they've been sparring for months now.

3. The attack on the camp is an accident and Yevgeny Prigozhin is simply overreacting as usual (this time though, going to a whole new level)
