Bulgarian army destroys explosives on drone that landed in Black Sea resort

A Bulgarian army bomb disposal team on September 18 destroyed in a controlled explosion a device attached to a drone that landed on September 17 evening in the Black Sea town of Tyulenovo.

The army unit inspected the site and concluded that transporting the drone to another location with the explosives still attached would not be possible, the defence ministry said, according to Reuters.

"We can certainly assume that it 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."
