I'm not always here to do write-ups!

But yeah, shit is wild.

Information is tough to confirm because, well, Russia. But the Wagner group (PMC that has basically acted as a deniable army for Russia and basically a war crime manufacturer, they've been a major component in the invasion of Ukraine too) has basically announced a rebellion. They've allegedly seized control of the Rostov region, which is the Russian Military's Southern HQ (which is the main HQ for the invasion of Ukraine) and has also allegedly told the military there that they intend to march on Moscow if they don't get significant leadership change at the Ministry of Defense.

Whole bunch of road closure announcements, "everything is fine", "oh btw don't travel to these regions", "Moscow is upping its defenses" in the aftermath. Wagner is claiming the Russian military has attacked them, Russia denies it. Putin did a short address where he basically declared that the organizers behind the rebellion will suffer "inevitable consequences." But doesn't name Prigozhin (the head of Wagner) directly. It sounds like some clashes may have begun to break out between the two sides but again insanely hard to verify what's coming out of there.

So, yeah, looks very much like we have a coup attempt of some sorts occurring. Again, it's hard to tell which news is real and which isn't coming out of there when a lot of it is just randoms from Twitter and the major news orgs need the time to verify what's real and what isn't but I've heard wild stuff like Wagner showing signs that they are in fact seemingly heading towards Moscow.
