Explosions at the Ministry of State Security of Transnistria

Police in the separatist Transnistrian region of Moldova say the State Security Ministry building was hit today by several explosions, which were probably caused by a grenade launcher, the AP reported, citing the BTA.

No injuries were reported. The interior ministry said some windows in the building were smashed and smoke billowed from the building.

Transnistria, a strip of land with a population of about 470,000, located between Moldova and Ukraine, has been controlled by separatist authorities since the 1992 war with Moldova.

Russia has deployed about 1,500 soldiers, nominally called peacekeepers.

A few days ago, Deputy Commander of Russia’s Central Military District Rustam Minekayev said that establishing full control over southern Ukraine would give Russia access to Transnistria.
