CHISINAU, June 6. /TASS/. The Investigative Committee of Transnistria reported a sabotage, carried out in peacekeeping contingent deployment location.

"An unidentified aerial vehicle (drone) dropped two explosive devices, presumably RGD-5 grenades, at vehicle park of Transnistrian peacekeeping contingent reserve unit near the settlement of Vladimirovka. No injuries or damages were sustained," the Committee said.

In late April, a series of terror attacks rocked Transnistria: the Ministry of State Security building was shelled with grenade launchers, antennas of one of the largest broadcasting centers in the region were blown up near the settlement of Mayak. Military airstrip near Tiraspol and ammunition depot near Kolbasna, where up to 20,000 tonnes of ammunition have been stockpiled after the Soviet withdrawal from European states, were also attacked. The latter object is guarded by the Operational Group of Russian Forces. President of Transnistria Vadim Krasnoselsky stated that the attacks were organized from the Ukrainian territory. According to Krasnoselsky, Moldovan intelligence services were involved in attempted arson at military conscription point. After the attacks, reinforced roadblocks have been installed at city entries.
