Bulgaria inspects drone that landed in Black Sea resort

Bulgaria’s defence ministry hassent a special unit to inspect and deactivate a drone carrying explosives which landed on Sunday evening in the Black Sea town of Tyulenovo.

Following inspection the team from NATO-member Bulgaria will decide how to dispose of it, the ministry said in a statement, adding that the team had been sent on the request of the regional government.

“We can certainly assume that it (the drone) is related to the war that Russia launched against Ukraine,” Defence Minister Todor Tagarev told reporters.

“This war is inevitably associated with increasing risks to our security,” he added.
