Transnistrian State Security Ministry says it thwarted assassination attempt order by Ukraine
The State Security Ministry of Transnistria, the Moscow-backed breakaway region in Moldova, said Thursday that it prevented a “terrorist attack” against “multiple officials” that was ordered by the Ukrainian Security Service.
In a written statement, the agency said that the suspects have been arrested and have confessed to the crime.
According to Transnistria’s government-owned TV channel, the alleged criminals planted eight kilograms (18 pounds) of explosives in a vehicle and planned to blow it up “at the moment that it passed one of the officials.”
Meduza cannot immediately verify these claims/statements.
