Details: The so-called law enforcement and emergency services of Transnistria were immediately sent to the scene of the incidents. "Militia" ["militia" was the name of the law enforcement branch in the USSR] officers surrounded the territory of the Mayak radio and television centre, and the "sappers of the Ministry of Defence" began to inspect all of its facilities.
