CNN reports.

According to new images provided exclusively to CNN, the fuselage of the plane allegedly carrying Yevgeny Prigozhin was virtually undamaged when it hit the ground," the report said.

A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image obtained by Umbra Lab, Inc. showed that the crash site is shaped like an oblong oval containing mostly the fuselage and is confined to a defined area.

Most of the wreckage is in one area at the edge of a forest clearing, with smaller pieces of aircraft debris falling elsewhere.

Nearly two kilometres southeast of the main wreckage site, CNN geolocated images showing part of the plane's tail in a clearing near houses.
