Moldova: Officials in breakaway Transnistria blame Ukrainian drone strike after military site blast

Drone strike at a military installation in Moldova’s breakaway republic of Transnistria on Sunday destroyed a helicopter and ignited a fire, authorities in the pro-Russia region said.

The area’s pro-Russia officials blamed the strike on Ukraine. Moldova’s Bureau for Reintegration Policies said in a statement that after examining video footage, they “do not confirm any attack” on Transnistria and called it “an attempt to cause fear and panic in the region.”
