Investigators found hand grenade fragments in the remains of those killed when Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin's plane crashed in August, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday, claiming the probe has shown "no external influence" downed the aircraft, APA reports citing CNN.
The country's Investigative Committee "reported a few days ago that the fragments of hand grenades were found in the bodies of the victims," Putin said during a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club in the Russian city of Sochi.
"There was no external influence on the plane; it is an established fact," the Russian leader claimed.
Putin added that the investigation into the crash is still ongoing.
