Prilepin's driver lost their life in the explosion, which took place in the Nizhny Novgorod region, approximately 400 kilometers east of Moscow.

Prilepin, who was once a left-wing dissident, has since shifted his views and become a prominent supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin and a vocal advocate for Moscow's intervention in Ukraine.

This incident marks the third bombing involving influential pro-Kremlin figures since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. (ILKHA)
