Balti likely to remain without water and sewerage from tomorrow

The city of Balti could remain without water and sewerage from tomorrow, November 9. The situation is generated by the misunderstandings between “Aqua Nord” Soroca and “Furnizarea Energiei Electrice Nord”, mayor of the municipality of Balti Nicolai Grigorishin stated in a municipal meeting, IPN reports.

According to the mayor, “Aqua Nord” Soroca received a letter from “FEE-Nord”, informing that on November 9, the supply of electricity at the pumping stations in Soroca town will be switched off. “Aqua Nord” Soroca must clear the debts for the consumed electricity. These pumping stations pump water to Balti. “FEE-Nord” and “Aqua Nord” have disagreements, but Balti, which does not have any debts to Soroca, will be disconnected from the water supply and sewerage system. The Balti mayor’s office made approaches to “Apă-Canal Bălți”, “Glorin Inginering” and “Direcția Troleibuze” and a commission for exceptional situations was set up.

Nicolai Grigorishin noted that the Balti mayor’s office warned the head of the National Commission for Exceptional Situations, Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilița, about the expected disconnections. The State Chancellery sent a letter by which the Balti mayor’s office, “Apă Canal Bălți” and “Aqua Nord” Soroca are urged to resolve this conflict by discussions.

The mayor added that if “FEE-Nord” disconnects the city from the supply of electricity, Balti will not have water and the sewerage system will stop working in at most 24 hours. “I asked the jurists to inform the Security and Intelligence Service of the Republic of Moldova about the fact that “FEE-Nord” and “Aqua Nord” Soroca consciously want to disconnect Balti from the water supply,” stated Nicolai Grigorishin.



It has been 95 years since the birth of the late writer Vladimir Besleaga. To mark the occasion, the National Museum of Romanian Literature has opened an exhibition dedicated to the author’s life and work, featuring books, photographs, manuscripts, and literary documents, including previously unpublished materials donated by the writer to the museum during the final years of his life, according to IPN.

As part of the commemorative exhibition “The Man of Light: Vladimir Besleaga, 95 Years Since His Birth,” the public has access to a significant portion of the author’s personal archive and to accounts of his literary work.

The opening also featured the presentation of the book “Batranii din casuta cat nuca” by Vladimir Besleaga, published in 2026 by Epigraf Publishing House in Chisinau. The event was attended by writers, literary scholars, journalists, publishers, museum curators, family members, and admirers of his work.

Vladimir Besleaga was born on July 25, 1931, in the village of Malaiesti, Grigoriopol District, and passed away on February 25, 2025, at the age of 93. His novel “Zbor frant” (“Broken Flight”), published in 1966, is considered one of the most important works of postwar prose in the Republic of Moldova.

A new drone was shot down Saturday morning in Romanian airspace. The Romanian president, Nicusor Dan, announced that the device was intercepted about 10 kilometers west of the town of Sfantu Gheorghe in the Danube Delta and was shot down by a Romanian pilot aboard an F-16 plane, reports IPN.

The Ministry of National Defense of Romania specified that at 08:22, the radar systems detected an unauthorized intrusion into the national airspace by a drone flying in the border area with Ukraine. Two F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft of the Romanian Air Force, serving in the Air Police combat service, intercepted the target and applied identification and neutralization procedures.

The Romanian authorities specify that the drone was safely shot down in an unpopulated area near the border, and the MApN teams are set to inspect the impact zone. The Ministry announces that it continuously monitors the situation in the airspace and maintains contact with allied structures.

The incident takes place a day after another drone was intercepted by the Romanian Air Forces. On Friday, an aerial target detected about 20 kilometers east of Sulina was shot down by an F-16 plane in the area of Padina, Buzau County.
