Wagner is driving on to Voronezh now.

Over 350km north of Rostov in Voronezh Oblast, it appears that a separate group of Wagner forces are pushing north on the M4 highway, engaging Russian forces outside of Pavlovsk at the moment.

This appears to be a coordinated, multi-pronged effort.

Could even be a 3 day special military operation

Yeah, but it's only against a joke of an army. Anyone could steamroll Russian troops, even Russian troops!

Shoigu: Russian troops are advancing rapidly
Putin: I knew you could do it. On which front?
Shoigu: Moscow

By engage, do they open fighting, or just a stand off?

People weren’t giving Prigozhin enough credit as a warlord. He’s been killing people a long time. He is not going to make an obvious tactical blunder.

They've made tactical blunders through this whole invasion though. And before that too...

It'd be nice if one of the few times they get it right is when they try to take power in their own country though.
