A drone entered Bulgaria from Romania and exploded near the border on Saturday, causing no reported casualties or infrastructure damage. Bulgarian PM Rumen Radev said the blast occurred near the former Kardam checkpoint, about 100 meters inside Bulgaria, close to critical energy infrastructure. The drone escaped detection by Romanian and Bulgarian air defenses. The area was cordoned off and the drone type is under examination. Bulgaria plans to deploy more border police and will raise the incident at NATO. Romania recently shot down three drones in late July.
