Moscow Mayor Tells People to Stay Home

“The mayor of Moscow has just asked people to restrict their movements around the capital — rebels from the mercenary Wagner Group appear to be heading towards the city,” the BBC reports.

Washington Post: “Security was reinforced on main highways leading into Moscow, and residents in other areas were asked not to leave their homes. Meanwhile, flights out of Russia were selling out.”

New York Times: “As security forces were scrambled in southwestern Russia and Moscow, military convoys believed to belong to Mr. Prigozhin’s Wagner forces were seen in the town of Elets, about 250 miles from the capital.”
