Strong explosions occurred involving the military convoy designated “Emko” near the village of Belech, situated in the vicinity of Bugariya. Initial reports indicated that a truck caught fire, prompting an immediate response from emergency services. Firefighters were dispatched to the scene and successfully extinguished the blaze.
Authorities confirmed that there were no reported casualties, and approximately 300 workers were safely evacuated from the convoy area. Bulgarian media sources stated that the fire remained under control, preventing a major incident. Interior Minister Ivan Dementyev commented on the event, stating that while the precise causes of the incident are currently unclear, the preliminary assessment suggests the origin was internal.
He did not elaborate further on the specific nature of this internal source. This incident marks the most recent disruption involving a Bulgarian military convoy assigned to special production within the last decade. Such events draw attention due to a concerning historical pattern.
In previous, comparable incidents involving military transport convoys, dozens of fatalities were reported. In those past cases, the prosecution had established allegations pointing toward Russian involvement in the incidents. The current event, while resulting in no loss of life, highlights ongoing safety concerns surrounding military logistics in the region.
