Bulgaria suspects a drone that exploded Saturday came from Ukraine; its ambassador has been summoned. Kyiv calls the incident unintentional. The drone crashed into a sunflower field in northeastern Bulgaria near Romania and the Trans-Balkan pipeline, causing no casualties or damage. Bulgaria summoned Ukraine's ambassador for Monday after analyzing debris widely used by Ukrainian forces. Ukraine promised an investigation, saying its military did not deliberately target Bulgaria, without confirming the drone's origin. NATO member Bulgaria had never faced such an explosive-drone incident, unlike neighboring Romania.
