New details have emerged regarding recent drone incidents in the country, with police investigating debris from a 'Geran-4' type drone equipped with a turbojet engine after explosions were reported in northern Moldova. Concerns about the state's vulnerability to drone threats are also under scrutiny, while reports link Telegram channels to the arrival of a 'drone plane' prior to Russian drones entering Moldovan airspace. Meanwhile, the National Agency for Energy Regulation (ANRE) is set to examine requests for significant increases in natural gas and thermal energy tariffs on Monday, September 28th. Proposed hikes include a gas tariff of 26.14 lei/m³ and thermal energy tariffs of 3277 lei/Gcal, potentially leading to higher heating costs for residents in Chisinau and Balti. Former Minister Andrei Spînu commented on Energocom's gas tariff request, noting current prices are considerably lower than in 2022. In other developments, a report from Tiraspol detailed a meeting between Moldovan official Kiiver and Transnistrian leader Ignatiev, questioning the rhetoric surrounding Transnistria's status. Former President Igor Dodon appeared in court for the 'Kuliok' case, where prosecutors are seeking harsher accusations. Additionally, police face accusations of negligence following the murder of a mother and daughter, highlighting ongoing concerns about gender-based violence.
