A drone carrying explosives entered Bulgaria from abroad and exploded near a gas pipeline at the Romanian border Saturday, causing no casualties. Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev said the drone carried a significant amount of explosives, exploded near the Kardam border checkpoint, and crashed in a sunflower field about 1,000 meters from a gas pipeline compressor station. The border police heard the drone in Romania and saw black smoke. Drone incursions have increased in NATO’s eastern European members, and Romania recently expelled a Russian diplomat.
