Jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny dies, prison service says
- Navalny’s spokesperson said his lawyer is traveling to the Siberian penal colony where Navalny had been serving his sentence. His mother said she had just seen Navalny for a visit this week, and he was "alive, healthy and cheerful."

- World leaders have reacted with shock and sadness to Navalny's death, with US President Biden saying that if the reports of his death are confirmed, "make no mistake, Putin is responsible."
