Prigozhin.

Well it was general aviation (another Embraer Jet, coincidentally) as opposed to commercial, but close enough.

Still the most likely explanation is human error. There have been so many shoot downs of airlines across the world in the recent past that it is not surprising any more.

Prigozhin was about sending a message, and using a method of assassination that ultimately Prigozhin himself could not use. Only Putin can kill you with a missile strike.
