CHISINAU, Moldova (AP) — Protesters have stormed the Moldovan parliament and a presidential office and set fire to furniture.

Police fired water cannons on protesters Tuesday but were unable to stop them from breaking into the buildings.

At least 10,000 protesters gathered earlier to protest what they said were fraudulent elections on Sunday.

An Associated Press reporter saw the windows smashed on two floors of the presidential office. Romanian Realitatea TV said six police officers were injured in the clashes.
