A kamikaze drone has attacked a military base in Tiraspol, the capital of the unrecognized republic of Transnistria, the press service for the region’s security ministry told RIA Novosti. The Sunday incident reportedly caused a fire but resulted in no casualties.
Tiraspol is the capital of the unrecognized republic of Transnistria, an unrecognized republic that split from Moldova in the early 1990s.
According to TASS, a military airfield was targeted in the attack. A helicopter stationed at the airfield was destroyed by the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the news agency added.
The de facto authorities in Transnistria have so far not commented on the extent of the damage. The breakaway republic’s state security ministry only confirmed that one of Tiraspol’s military bases saw a fire caused by an “explosion,” which, in turn, was the result of a drone attack.
Photos and videos that surfaced on social media show what appears to be the wreckage of a military helicopter, with its hull almost completely destroyed.
