Moldova and Ukraine have denied claims made by pro-Russian separatist authorities in Transnistria that an explosion in the breakaway region was caused by a drone from Ukraine. The separatists allege the attack was carried out by a drone launched from Ukraine, while Kyiv blames Russia for a drone attack on a military base. Separatist officials claim no one was hurt, but Moldova could not confirm the attack, calling it an attempt to spread fear. The incident raises tensions in the region, known for its ties to Moscow, and follows Transnistria’s recent appeal to Russia for “protection.”
