31 August 2018
An explosion at a cafe has killed Alexander Zakharchenko, the leader of the Russian-backed separatists in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, sources in the rebel administration there say.
The report was carried by the rebel "Donetsk Republic" news agency DNR.
Some Ukrainians suspected over the blast were arrested nearby, a rebel security source was quoted as saying.
The heavily-armed rebels in Donetsk and Luhansk regions refuse to recognise the Ukrainian government in Kiev.
The rebel and Russian news reports say the separatist "finance minister" Alexander Timofeyev was wounded in the blast at the Separ cafe.
