"Moldovan Breakaway Region Attributes Military Site Blast to Ukrainian Drone"
Pro-Russian separatist authorities in Moldova's breakaway region of Transnistria claim that an explosion at a military site was likely caused by a drone launched from Ukraine, with grainy footage showing a projectile hitting a military helicopter. The region, which broke away from Moldova after the Soviet Union's collapse, has appealed to Russia for "protection," raising concerns of a new flashpoint in Moscow's conflict with Ukraine.
