Moldova: Attacks in Transnistria raise fears of Ukraine war spreading

There have been fears that the Russia-Ukraine war is widening and that Russia has its sights set on former Soviet republic Moldova. Last week, a series of explosions were reported in different parts of Transnistria, a Russian-backed breakaway region in Moldova which borders Ukraine. Blasts tore through the state security headquarters in Tiraspol on Monday and two explosions damaged Soviet-era radio masts on Tuesday in the village of Maiac in Grigoriopol district. The attacks cause concerns that Russia is creating a pretext for invading the region.

Moldova holds urgent security meeting after Transnistria blasts

Moldovan President Maia Sandu convened an urgent meeting of the country’s Supreme Security Council after two blasts damaged Soviet-era radio masts in the breakaway region of Transnistria.

Moldovan authorities are sensitive to any sign of growing tensions in Transnistria, an unrecognised Moscow-backed sliver of land bordering southwestern Ukraine, especially since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
