A kamikaze drone allegedly hit a military facility near Rybnitsa on Friday, the Transnistrian press reported. The Reintegration Policy Bureau said the competent authorities are analyzing the available information and images, adding however that “the series of provocations in the region are intended to sow panic and continuous tension”.
“Qualified investigations can only be carried out by the legitimate bodies authorized by law, which, however, do not have access to the perimeter in question”, added the Bureau.
The facility allegedly attacked is located about six kilometers from the border with Ukraine. It was reported that the target was a military radar, which only suffered minor damage.
This echoes a similar alleged drone attack on a helicopter at a Tiraspol military base two weeks ago. The Reintegration Policy Bureau later commented that the analyzed footage had visible signs of doctoring, suggesting that Russia was behind. The Bureau added that the Moldovan authorities are expecting further such actions in the Transnistrian region and the Security Zone.
