Bulgaria investigates fire at weapons site that owner calls sabotage
Officials are not ruling out "outside interference", while the company says the blaze at its site was sabotage.
Bulgaria is investigating the cause of an overnight fire at an ammunition storage site run by a private defence company.
Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev said the authorities "are not ruling out outside interference" in the incident in central Bulgaria. No-one was injured in the blaze that triggered a series of explosions.
EMCO company, whose weapons are used by Ukraine against invading Russian forces, said the fire at its site was sabotage and that human error was "completely ruled out". It did not say who might be responsible.
"As the EU and Nato member state most severely affected by such actions, Bulgaria must join the collective effort to prevent and neutralise these attacks," EMCO said.
