The daughter of an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin was killed Saturday when the Toyota Land Cruiser she was driving exploded in Russia.
Darya Dugin, a journalist, was killed in the blast Saturday near Moscow.
Darya’s father is Russian political commentator Alexander Dugin, often referred to a “Putin’s brain.”
Media reports say the elder Dugin, an ultra-nationalist, may have been the intended target.
Both father and daughter were supporters of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
