"Mutiny" is the word being bandied about. For now there doesn't seem to be any major confirmed clashes; on the contrary, both Wagner and the armed forces seem to be giving each other a wide berth (the great majority of Wagner personnel are ex-military, btw, which could account for some of the armed forces' reticence to directly confront their former colleagues -- OTOH, most of the surviving "convict volunteers" have already served their six months and returned to Russia as free men, and are not guaranteed to take up arms for Prigozhin).
It is not a civil war.
Yet.
And it's uncertain whether Prigozhin will live long enough to make it a true civil war.
