    There has been an arrest warrant issued for Prigozhin.

    KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The owner of the private military contractor Wagner escalated his direct challenge to the Kremlin on Friday, calling for an armed rebellion aimed at ousting Russia’s defense minister. The security services reacted immediately by opening a criminal investigation into Yevgeny Prigozhin.

    Prigozhin posted a series of angry video and audio recordings in which he accused Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu of ordering a rocket strike Friday on Wagner’s field camps in Ukraine, where his troops are fighting on behalf of Russia.

    Prigozhin said his troops would now punish Shoigu in an armed rebellion and urged the army not to offer resistance.

    “This is not a military coup, but a march of justice,” Prigozhin declared.
