A former Russian spy who was in critical condition after being exposed to a substance was poisoned by a nerve agent, British authorities said Wednesday.

Police believe both former spy Sergei Skripal, 66, and his 33-year-old daughter were exposed to the agent, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

Mark Rowley, Britain’s top police official for counterterrorism and international security, said the two “were targeted specifically.”

“This is being treated as a major incident involving attempted murder by administration of a nerve agent,” he said, according to the Times.

The Kremlin has denied any involvement in the incident.
