A drone strike at a military installation in Moldova’s breakaway republic of Transnistria on Sunday destroyed a helicopter and ignited a fire, authorities in the pro-Russia region said.

The area’s pro-Russian officials blamed the strike on Ukraine.

Moldova’s Bureau for Reintegration Policies said in a statement that, after examining video footage of the incident, they “do not confirm any attack” on Transnistria and called it “aan attempt to cause fear and panic in the region.”

Sounds like the Neocons have given up on Crimea and Donbass and thus need a new war.

Never mind that Russia has a long history of false-flag attacks to attempt to cage Ukraine as the aggressor. They did it in early 2014 in the Eastern Oblasts of Ukraine as they turned over power under fear and fake terrorist attacks...

IS that the case here in Transnistria? I cannot say. None of my connections in Ukraine seem to have any idea. But Ukraine has mostly been quite quick to take credit for successful attacks on Russian targets, and has been pretty careful to NOT target outside of Russian forces in Ukraine or Russia.

Here is the video. People noticed that windows were broken before the hit

After further investigation, It seems it was sitting there for years

This group waxed a beautiful song that should have been a hit. Judging from their name, they might even be from Transnistria!

You can tell it was a false-flag because Russia didn’t claim it was a “smoking accident”.
