Breaking news - The head of the Wagner mercenary group has claimed he is inside the army HQ in southern Russia’s Rostov-on-Don and that his fighters control the city’s military sites, including an aerodrome, after vowing to bring down Moscow’s top brass.

“We are inside the (army) headquarters, it is 7.30am (5.30 BST),” Yevgeny Prigozhin said in a video on Telegram.

“Military sites in Rostov, including an aerodrome, are under control,” he added.

Prigozhin said his troops will blockade the city and he threatened to head for Moscow unless defence chiefs Sergey Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov come to them.
