A drone entered Bulgarian airspace from Romania on Saturday and exploded near the village of Kardam, with no casualties or infrastructure damage, Radev said. The drone entered at 0810 local time (0500 GMT) and detonated in a sunflower field near the Romanian border, about 1,000 meters from Bulgaria's Trans-Balkan gas pipeline compressor station. Radev said security at strategic sites and border surveillance would be increased. The site was cordoned off for examination. The drone was not detected earlier, underscoring detection challenges, and Radev cited radar delivery delays. Incursions linked to the Russia-Ukraine war have raised NATO concerns.
