US intelligence fugitive Edward Snowden has flown out of Hong Kong, the Chinese territory's government has confirmed.
The South China Morning Post quoted "credible sources" as saying he was due to arrive in Moscow on Sunday evening.
It said Moscow would not be his final destination.
Snowden, an intelligence analyst, fled to Hong Kong in May after revealing details of extensive internet and phone surveillance by the US National Security Agency (NSA).
The development will be seen as a major blow to US efforts to have him extradited, says the BBC's John Sudworth in Hong Kong.
