A drone carrying explosives exploded near Bulgaria’s Trans-Balkan gas pipeline close to the Romanian border, causing no casualties; Sofia identified it as Ukrainian and likely accidental. Prime Minister Rumen Radev convened an emergency security council; debris in a sunflower field matched drones widely used by Ukraine, the defense ministry said. Kyiv called it unintentional and opened an investigation; Bulgaria summoned its ambassador. The blast came as Russia launched 151 drones and six missiles overnight, killing four in Kyiv, including a 3-year-old. Zelensky, in Belgrade, urged Patriot supplies, saying Ukraine’s power plants are largely destroyed.
