President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that explosive traces were discovered in the remains of people killed when the plane carrying Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin crashed over Russia in August.

"The head of the investigative committee reported to me a few days ago. Fragments of hand grenades were found in the bodies of the victims of the air disaster. There was no external impact on the plane," Putin said during a televised conference.
