Drone explodes near Trans-Balkan pipeline on Romania-Bulgaria border

spiegel.de (German)

An explosive-laden drone exploded near the Trans-Balkan Pipeline on the Romanian-Bulgarian border, prompting Bulgaria's security cabinet to convene. No casualties occurred. Bulgaria's government later said the drone likely originated in Ukraine, using a type common in Kyiv's military, though initial analysis suggested no deliberate incident. Neither Romania nor Bulgaria had detected the drone. The incident follows repeated drone events in NATO states near the Black Sea. Turkey reported Monday drone attacks on two Turkish-owned ships, wounding crew. Bulgaria stopped military aid to Ukraine in June.
