This is BREAKING NEWS as of 4:52 PM eastern US time on Friday, June 23, 2023 -- There are numerous reports of a military Coup d' Etat taking place inside Russia.
Plan "FORTRESS" to protect vital facilities, jam cellphones, and restrict normal civilian life has been enacted in Southern Russia and in Moscow. RUMORS OF CIVIL WAR EVERYWHERE!

The fortress plan implies an emergency gathering of police personnel and provides readiness to repel an external attack.

New Army recruits, without much training, are being armed and sent to southern Russia.

Social media is lighting-up with postings calling for military brass to be ousted (and worse) as shown below (at source):

Apparently, the leader of PMC Wagner, Progozhin, posted a public message on social media claiming the Russian Army deliberately fired missiles at camps of the Wagner PMC soldiers, killing several and injuring many.

RUMORS are running wild that Prigozhin is bringing 25,000 of his Wagner troops to Moscow to take out the military leadership of Russia.

NONE OF THIS IS VERIFIABLE at this time.

Whatever is taking place is happening very fast. Updates as I get the info.
