Bulgaria is investigating an explosion and fire at a weapons storage facility operated by EMCO, described by officials as a second incident at the company’s depots within weeks. The latest blast occurs near the village of Tsareva Livada, where local media and videos show flames visible in the night sky.
Bulgaria’s interior minister says investigators are looking into the cause, including the possibility of sabotage, and are assessing whether the event is connected to an earlier fire at a different EMCO facility in August. Sources report that no injuries are reported from the current incident.
Across outlets, the core details are consistent: EMCO operates the site, the incident involves a weapons depot explosion and fire, and authorities are conducting an active probe that considers potential links to a previous blaze. Differences are mainly in emphasis, with some coverage focusing on the sabotage question and the timing relative to the earlier August incident.
