CHISINAU, April 26. /TASS/. The Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM) believes that an attempt to draw the country into an armed conflict is behind the explosions in unrecognized Transnistria, PSRM executive secretary Vlad Batrincea wrote on Tuesday on his Facebook page (a social media site banned in Russia since it is owned by Meta corporation deemed extremist by Russian authorities).

"We follow with great concern the growing attempts of external forces to drag our country into an armed conflict. <...> The PSRM has repeatedly stressed that Moldova must maintain the neutrality status enshrined in our constitution, and the leadership in Chisinau and the entire political class must exclude any provocative actions that could have disastrous consequences for the country," Batrincea said.

On Tuesday, two radio antennas of the regional radio center were blown up in the village of Mayak, in the Grigoriopol district of Transnistria. The day before, the building of the Transnistrian Ministry of State Security was shelled with hand grenade launchers. There were reportedly no casualties in either case. In March, Transnistrian government agencies received several anonymous reports of bombs planted at schools, medical facilities, shopping centers and other facilities.
