A car exploded at the parking lot near government headquarters in downtown Donetsk, on Friday.

The car reportedly belonged to the People’s Militia chief Denis Sinenkov of the self-proclaimed People’s Republic of Donetsk (DPR). No one was injured as a result of the explosion.

Earlier in the day, DPR leader Denis Pushilin told civilians to evacuate to Russia to avoid getting caught in the crossfire in case of a possible attack by Ukrainian forces.

Kiev and the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics have accused each other of ceasefire violations and shelling in recent days.

The USA and other Western countries have expressed fears that Russia could stage a false flag attack to justify invading Ukraine, amid reports that Moscow has concentrated around 150,000 troops next to the Ukraine border.

Russia has said it is carrying out planned military drills and that some of the troops have been already withdrawn to their permanent bases, though Western countries have said there is no evidence of a pull-back.

On Thursday, US President Joe Biden said military action could begin “in the next several days” but stressed that a diplomatic solution was still possible.

Moscow has denied intending to invade, accusing the West of stoking tensions.
