A drone strike at a military installation in Moldova’s breakaway republic of Transnistria on Sunday destroyed a helicopter and ignited a fire, according to authorities in the pro-Russia region. The area’s pro-Russia officials attributed the strike to Ukraine.
Moldova’s Bureau for Reintegration Policies released a statement indicating that upon reviewing video footage, they found no evidence of an attack on Transnistria. They described the incident as an attempt to instill fear and panic in the region. The bureau also clarified that the military equipment destroyed in the footage had been non-operational for several years. Authorities in Moldova's capital, Chisinau, were reported to be in communication with Ukraine regarding the situation.
