State security services in Moldova's Russia-backed breakaway region of Transnistria reported that a drone attacked a military unit near the Ukraine border, resulting in minor damage to a radar station but no casualties. The incident took incidents in the region of Rabnita, approximately 4 miles from the Ukraine border. A criminal investigation has been initiated, although the perpetrators remain unidentified.
Moldova's Bureau for Reintegration Policies characterized the attack as part of a series of provocations in Transnistria aimed at creating panic and tension in the region. Moldova, a candidate for European Union membership, has accused Russia of engaging in a 'hybrid war' against the country, including interference in local elections and dissemination of disinformation to disrupt its EU membership aspirations. Russia has refuted these allegations.
