radiosvoboda.org (Ukrainian)

Bulgaria summoned Ukraine's ambassador for talks on August 10 after a drone exploded near the Trans-Balkan gas pipeline, escalating diplomatic tensions. The drone entered Bulgaria from Romania and detonated in a field near the border and a compressor station. Preliminary analysis identified the wreckage as a "Maya" decoy drone widely used by Ukrainian forces, though Bulgarian authorities saw no indication the incident was deliberate. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry spokesman said Kyiv is in close contact with Bulgaria and that Ukrainian forces deliberately directed no means toward it. He cited Russia's war against Ukraine as the root cause of such incidents.
