Residents of the Transnistrian city of Pervomaisk report shooting near the Kuchurgan international border checkpoint.
The security forces of the unrecognized republic neither confirm nor deny this information. Perhaps, they believe, residents of the border zone mistook Ukrainian army exercises taking place nearby for shelling. The distance between Pervomaisk and Kuchurgan is only two kilometers.
Indiscriminate shooting, as a source told the TSV television channel, was indeed recorded near the Ukrainian village of Pavlovka. The settlement is located next to Kuchurgan, close to the railway bridge that was blown up on March 4th.
Last week, Tiraspol, the capital of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, was shelled several times. In the afternoon of April 25, on Monday, the building of the Ministry of State Security of the republic was fired from grenade launchers, and in the evening explosions were made at a military airfield. April 26, Tuesday, unknown people blew up the antennas of the radio and television center in the village of Mayak. On Wednesday, attackers attacked military warehouses near the village of Kolbasna.
The head of the unrecognized republic, Vadim Krasnoselsky, announced the organization of sabotage by the Ukrainian side and introduced the maximum level of terrorist threat.
