The prices of gasoline and diesel fuel rise again. For Friday, March 11, the National Agency for Energy Regulation announced the highest gasoline and diesel fuel prices – 27.08 lei/liter, up 0.40 lei from today, and, respectively, 25.80 lei/liter, up 0.80 lei, IPN reports.

The Agency said the set prices were influenced by the average quotations on international stock exchanges for 14 days. It should be noted that the stock prices in the period grew by over 500 US$ per tonne of diesel fuel. Today the quotations declined.

The demand for oil products has increased on the domestic market as consumers rushed to create reserves so as to alleviate the effects of the higher fuel prices on the personal budget. As a result, some of the filling stations used up their supplies during a recorded period of time.

The domestic fuel stores are sufficient to satisfy the demand. The interruption in supplies at some of the filing stations are isolated incidents generated by the elements of panic among consumers, noted the Agency.

The National Agency for Energy Regulation sets price ceilings only for gasoline “95” and for diesel fuel. For comparison, a liter of gasoline “95” at the start of September cost 20.23 lei, while a liter of diesel fuel –16.42 lei. The price of liquefied petroleum gas rose to 14.90 lei/liter.

In July, the National Army’s sappers carried out 11 demining missions in several districts of the country and destroyed 13 explosive objects. One of the interventions aimed at neutralizing the Gheran-2 drone, detected in the village of Copanca, Causeni district, approximately 30 meters from a residential house, IPN reports.

According to the Ministry of Defense, the drone allegedly arrived on the territory of the Republic of Moldova following the massive attack launched by Russia on Ukraine on the night of July 13. The engineers of the “Codru” Engineering Battalion intervened to identify and neutralize the explosive object.

Another mission took place in the village of Serpeni, Anenii Noi district, where a local resident discovered ammunition during construction works. After checking the terrain, sappers identified and recovered 502 7.92 mm cartridges, left over from the Second World War. Similar interventions were carried out in localities in the districts of Ungheni, Stefan Voda, Straseni, Hancesti and Dubasari.

The Ministry of Defense reminds that discovered explosive objects should not be touched or moved. Citizens are urged to immediately notify the 112 Service or local authorities and to avoid any intervention with the ammunition.
