Russia is closely following events in Moldova’s pro-Russian breakaway region of Transdniestria, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, saying news from the region was a cause for serious concern.
Transdniestria has been subject to several attacks in the past day, local authorities say, after a military unit was targeted, blasts tore through Transdniestria’s state security HQ and two explosions damaged old Soviet-era radio antennae.
Moldova’s president has convened an urgent security meeting for Tuesday.
