Zakhar Prilepin, a prominent Russian nationalist writer, was wounded by a car bomb that killed his driver on Saturday. Prilepin is a strong supporter of Russia's war in Ukraine, and it is the third time a prominent pro-war figure has been targeted by a bomb since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The state Investigative Committee has released a photograph of Prilepin's Audi Q7, which was blown up in a remote village in the Nizny Novgorod region, and said they are treating the bombing as an act of terrorism. A suspect, a "native of Ukraine" with a past conviction for robbery with violence, has been arrested, according to security sources. While state media reports suggest that Prilepin survived the bombing, his condition is serious and he has been taken to hospital. The partisan group Atesh claimed responsibility for the attack but has not been verified by the BBC. Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has blamed the West, particularly the UK and the US for feeding the "Kyiv regime" as an international terrorist cell.
