Regional prosecutor Yuri Danilchenko said two people died, one of them a police officer, revising down an earlier toll of three killed.
"It was a homemade bomb packed with shrapnel, put in a plastic bag and hidden in snow by the side of the road," he told reporters.
Is it just us, or does Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's Twitter feed seem unfathomably oblivious to the tragedy in Kharkiv?
Choice to use the term "our guys" certainly a bizarre one.
Reuters quotes from a Ukrainian regional prosecutor's online statement:
"According to eyewitness accounts the explosive device was thrown from a passing car," the statement said.
There are rumors, including the usually reliable @kevinrothrock, that "suspects" in the Kharkiv bombing have already been detained.
