A US think tank the Institute for the Study of War has said the attacks are “false-flags” operations by Russia inside the breakaway region of Transnistria.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock warned the situation in Moldova is “extremely critical” and said it remains unclear who it actually behind the attacks.

“The drones were launched onto the territory of Transnistria from Ukraine.”
Kolbasna is just over a mile from the Ukraine border and houses around 20,000 tonnes of munitions which dates back to the old Soviet days.
