A drone carrying a large quantity of explosives crashed near a natural gas pipeline in Bulgaria, prompting Sofia to blame Ukraine. The Bulgarian Defense Ministry said debris analysis indicates a drone type widely used by Ukrainian armed forces. Sofia summoned Ukraine's ambassador, while Kyiv denied intentionally targeting Bulgaria and promised an investigation. The drone, likely a Maya decoy type, crashed in a sunflower field near Romania without casualties, about 1,000 meters from a Balkan gas pipeline compression station.
