CHISINAU, January 12. /TASS/. The president of unrecognized Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselsky, has extended the yellow level of terrorist alert in the region until March 14.

His decree was uploaded to the Transnistrian president’s website. The measures envisage tighter patrols on the streets in the communities where roadblocks were set up at all incoming roads last year and armed guards are on duty.

Earlier today, the Transnistrian Ministry of State Security accused Moldovan security forces of training groups of militants for terrorist attacks in the region. According to the ministry, more than 60 men, most of them from Ukraine and having combat experience, are being trained under the guidance of foreign instructors.

Last April, a series of terrorist attacks took place in Transnistria. They began with an attack with rocket-propelled grenades at the building of the Ministry of State Security. The antennas of one of the region's largest radio and television centers in the village of Mayak were blown up. Military airfields near Tiraspol and Ribnitsa, as well as the location of the Transnistrian peacekeeping contingent and the territory of the arsenal near the village of Kolbasna, where about 20,000 tons of ammunition are stored, were also attacked. No one was injured.

Krasnoselsky said at the time that the acts of sabotage were organized from the territory of Ukraine and also accused Moldovan secret services of involvement. The maximum terrorist threat alert was introduced in Transnistria. On May 25, last year it was lowered from red to yellow and is still in effect.
