Moldovan President Maia Sandu has convened an urgent meeting of the country’s Supreme Security Council after two blasts damaged Soviet-era radio masts in the breakaway region of Transnistria.

The incidents on Tuesday came after local officials on Monday reported several explosions at the state security ministry in the city of Tiraspol at 6pm (15:00 GMT) the day before, on a public holiday for the Orthodox Easter.

No residents were hurt, but two radio antennae that broadcast Russian radio were knocked out, it said.
