A Ukrainian military intelligence officer was killed by a bomb under his car while he was driving through the country's capital, Kiev, officials say.

No motive has been suggested but analysts say it may be connected to the Russian-backed insurgency in eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian firms, including the state power company and Kiev's main airport were among the first to report issues.
In March, former Russian MP Denis Voronenkov, a critic of President Vladimir Putin, was shot dead outside a hotel.
And last July, a prominent investigative Belarusian journalist and also a Kremlin critic, Pavel Sheremet, was killed by a bomb in his car in the capital.

The Chernobyl nuclear power plant has also had to monitor radiation levels manually after its Windows-based sensors were shut down.
Ukraine's central bank said several domestic lenders - including the largest bank Oschadbank - had been hit on Tuesday morning, hindering operations and leading the regulator to warn other financial institutions to tighten security measures.
