Border guards of the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky detachment discovered an underwater spirits pipeline that was stretched from Moldova to Ukraine. This is reported by the press-service of the State Fire Service,.

"Yesterday, while monitoring the shoreline of the Kuchurgan reservoir, border guards of the" Limanskoye "department discovered a hose with a diameter of 32 mm. The pipeline was laid from the Republic of Moldova to Ukraine in the direction of Dnestrovsk-Limanskoye, "the message says..

With its help, the attackers allegedly planned to illegally move alcohol from Moldova to Ukraine.

"Law enforcers established that this pipeline was installed recently and was not used yet, as the hose was new and empty and did not contain a characteristic smell of alcohol," the report said..

The pipeline was securely fixed on the Moldovan side, so the law enforcement officers, using a border patrol boat, dismantled only a part of the hose - up to the state border line.

The length of the remote pipe was 540 m.

"Law enforcement agencies are now continuing to identify those involved in unlawful activities," border guards added..
