Explosions in Moldova breakaway region raise concerns of widening war
[NYPOST] Explosions rocked the small, Russian-aligned breakaway region of Moldova known as Transnistria Tuesday, raising concerns that a new front could open in the war in Ukraine.Two explosions Tuesday morning took out a pair of powerful radio antennas along the Ukrainian border, Transnistrian police said. The incident follows reports of several explosions on Monday at the break-away region’s Ministry of State. Transnistria, a Kremlin-friendly strip of land in eastern Moldova, sits along Ukraine’s southwestern border, and hosts some 1,500 Russian troops on a nominal peace-keeping mission. The breakaway region is within 40 miles from Odessa. Monday’s attack, in which the Ministry of State was reportedly hit by rocket-propelled grenades, took place during a public holiday for Orthodox Easter, when most workers would have been home.
