According to the New York Times, new intelligence suggests that the daughter of an ally of the Russian president was killed in a car bombing in Russia.

According to the Times, US officials did not play a role in the attack and criticized Ukrainian officials for authorizing it.

Senior Ukrainian officials continued to deny involvement in the attack to the Times, though one anonymous senior military official told the outlet the country has carried out attacks on Russian officials in occupied Ukrainian territories.
The Department of Defense and the U.S. National Security Council did not respond to questions from Forbes.
The car bombing that killed Dugina was thought to be aimed at her father. Dugina was in the car with her father when the blast happened. The two were supposed to leave in the same car, but Alexander decided to go his own way. The elder Dugin was thought to be the first target.

The U.S. imposed sanctions on her father for his involvement in helping formulate policies that threatened the security of the country. Russian authorities said that Dugina died in a Moscow suburb in August after her car exploded on the highway.
