A series of explosions in Transnistria has been followed by the local security council announcing ‘red terrorist alert’, according to TSV Pridnestrovye.
This alert will be valid for 15 days, introducing "additional measures to ensure the security of the people, the society and the state." Checkpoints will be set up at the entrance to the cities, and schools will be using distance learning until the end of the academic year. The Victory Day military display scheduled for 9 May was also cancelled.
