On Sunday, March 17, an unidentified drone attack on a military base in Transnistria was recorded. The incident, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), is possibly a Russian attempt to destabilize the situation in Moldova. According to local media reports, the drone attacked a helicopter on the territory of an unidentified military unit in Transnistria. The Moldovan Reintegration Bureau noted that the strike was aimed at spreading fear and panic. ISW indicated that Russia or its affiliated actors may be interested in this provocation to support its hybrid operations to destabilize Moldova. It should be noted that officials from Ukraine were not directly blamed for this attack and the situation remains under investigation.
