A drone carrying an explosive device was found on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast on Sunday evening, an incident Bulgaria’s defense minister said was likely “related” to the war in Ukraine.
The drone was found on rocks next to a boat mooring in the resort town of Tyulenovo. It’s unclear whether the drone fell from the air and landed there or if it washed up on the coast after hitting the water.
On Monday, Bulgaria’s Defense Ministry said a bomb disposal team detonated the device in a controlled explosion. “We can certainly assume that it is related to the war that Russia launched against Ukraine,” said Bulgarian Defense Minister Todor Tagarev. “This war is inevitably associated with increasing risks to our security.”
Tyulenovo is about 18 miles south of the Romanian border and about 120 miles south of the section of the Danube River that acts as a border between Romania and Ukraine. Romania, also a NATO member, found suspected drone fragments on its territory after Russian bombardments of Ukraine’s Danube river ports, but Romanian authorities have stressed that their territory is not under threat.
Tyulenovo is also across the Black Sea from Crimea, which has become a major target of Ukrainian drones. According to POLITICO, Bulgarian Deputy Minister of Defense Yordan Bozhilov said it’s difficult to determine the origins of the drone found in Tyulenovo and whether it belonged to Russia or Ukraine.
The incident in Bulgaria and the drone fragments being found in Romania highlight the risk of the war in Ukraine escalating into NATO territory. Last year, when a Ukrainian air defense missile hit Poland and killed two people, Ukrainian officials claimed it was a Russian missile in an attempt to get NATO to intervene directly in the war.
As the famous line in Casablanca says”There is gambling going on here,I’m shocked” This sounds like a putup job to involve more NATO in this conflict. Who can tell with all of these bombs and drones flying around?

Bulgaria Finds Explosive-Laden Drone
and not to be out done; Transylvania managed to capture a vampire (finally) who had been running around rampant for 2 generations without any significant opposition. what.
No doubt Mr. Z will blame the Ruskies
Well; it’s what he does. But like the NYT story just posted, somehow, amazingly, the truth actually does get out.
Much of the UA Civil War consists of drone warfare, so this one could have originated from anywhere.. Statements from Ro or Bg politicians will reflect the EU-company line, as this is the source of their Gravy Train.. The citizens, however, tend to side with Russia.. I have lived in both countries..
And who has an interest in escalation? Hmmm, The guy who threatened Europeans and Americans with terrorism should he be denied things on his wish list. He is goving excuse to every nut and berry to commit tertorism against innocent people to express their unhappiness as we have failed to deliver then Russia on a silver plate. Entitled brat,
Victimhood, Entitlement, Covetousness, Contrivance, Cunning, Designing, Agitation, Prevarication, Opportunism, Outsmarting, Outcompeting etc, it’s part of his make up. He’d consider them as virtues!
He does possess genuine qualities, but they’re not for most people. You’d have to ask his family what those qualities are.
It’s not “difficult” to surmise the origin. In FACT, it is very simple.
IF there was any doubt, the western media would be screaming that “it’s Russia’s fault”. Since they are not saying that, then it must defacto be a Ukrainian drone. Ukraine is the one launching dozens, if not hundreds, of drones over the black sea trying to strike russian ships in international waters close to the Bulgarian coast. Almost certainly, a damaged or defective ukrainian drone landed in Bulgaria
Because THAT is the track record. Just some incidents, immediately blamed on Russia, with no proof, that have since been acknowledged: Who shot the missile that landed in Poland? Ukraine. Who hit their own market town, killing 16 civilians? Ukraine. Who blew up the Nordstream pipeline? Ukraine, although almost certainly with the help of the US CIA. Who used human shields in Mariupol? Ukraine. Who blew up the Dniepr dam? Still unknown but as NO ONE in the west seems to care anymore, my money is on Ukraine.
Amnesty International reported, early in the war, that the Ukrainians intentionally sited headquarters, artillery and missile batteries in and around active schools, hospitals, and apartment blocks, in order to draw Russian fire and then accuse them of “atrocities”.
AND; THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION, which I doubt will ever be answered; who tied up and executed the civilians in Bucha, found by Ukrainian “security forces” DAYS after the Russians evacuated, and blamed on the Russians? Again, No One knows, and No One in the west seems to care anymore, which leads me to strongly suspect it was the Ukrainian Neo nazi death squads (errr…”security services”) taking vengeance on suspected “collaborators”.
Who the F%$K are we actually supporting in this mess???
