Transnistria (Moldova) towers brought down
« on: April 27, 2022, 1554 UTC »
Found a news article on another forum stating that communications towers at facilities used to "broadcast Russian news" were destroyed by explosives. Anyone have an idea of what these were associated with (SWBC, TV, etc.) and the operator(s) involved?

This should answer your question, from Shortwave Central blog:

The destroyed towers were masts of a shortwave antenna at the Pridnestrovsky Teleradio Center Maiac. As the last SWBC-customer left mid-April, this has no effect to any programme.

Mediumwave antennas that are transmitting Russian programmes Radio Rossii 999 kHz and Viesti FM 1413 kHz were not affected by this attack.
