Bulgaria summons Ukraine's ambassador over drone blast near Romanian border

cnn.gr (Greek)

Bulgaria summoned Ukraine's ambassador for explanations after a drone explosion near a gas pipeline on the Romanian border, escalating the incident diplomatically. Initial debris examination suggests a "Maya" drone widely used by Ukrainian forces, Bulgaria's Defense Ministry said, though Sofia has not called the incident intentional or formally blamed Kyiv. Ukraine denied deliberately targeting Bulgaria and promised an investigation; a meeting is set for Monday. The drone exploded roughly 1,000 meters from a trans-Balkan gas pipeline compressor station and crashed in a sunflower field, causing no casualties. Bulgaria, a NATO member like Romania, had never faced such an incident.
