Moscow: Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, leading a mutiny to bring down Moscow's top brass, said Saturday his fighters captured the army HQ in Russia's Rostov-on-Don "without firing a single shot" and claimed to have the support of locals.

"Why does the country support us? Because we went on a march of justice," Prigozhin said in his latest Telegram audio message. "We got to Rostov. Without a single shot we captured the building of the (army) HQ."
