Tiraspol [Moldova], May 8 (ANI/Sputnik): Four explosions rocked the Transnistrian village of Varancau at the border with Ukraine on Friday evening, with explosive devices being allegedly dropped from a drone, the Interior Ministry of the unrecognized Moldovan Republic of Transnistria said on Saturday.
"Four explosions occurred near the village of Varancau in Ribnita district in the area of the former airfield. In the evening of May 6, approximately at 21:40 [18:40 GMT], the first two explosive devices were dropped, presumably from a drone.
An hour later, the attack was repeated," the Ministry said on social media.
