Two people died and one was wounded, in a bomb attack on a vehicle belonging to Denis Pushilin, the head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, according to officials in Donetsk.
The attack occurred in front of a government building controlled by pro-Russian separatists Thursday, officials said.
It was claimed that Pushilin was not inside the vehicle at the time of the blast and two dead bodies belonged to his body guards.
Tensions remain high in eastern Ukraine where pro-Moscow separatists and government forces continue to clash after Ukraine's newly-elected President Petro Poroshenko vowed "to ensure peace and stability" by retaining control in the eastern regions.
