Bulgaria Deploys Anti-Drone Systems to Protect Critical Infrastructure
The government said it will equip critical sites with anti-drone technology and boost patrols after a fire at an EMCO weapons depot.
- On Friday, Bulgaria's government announced it will supply critical infrastructure with more than 10 anti-drone systems and direct police to increase patrols at weapons production and storage sites amid heightened security concerns.
- This decision follows a recent fire at a weapons depot operated by EMCO, run by arms trader Emilian Gebrev, whom prosecutors have previously alleged was targeted by Russian operatives in attacks on his facilities.
- EMCO labeled the fire as sabotage, pointing to more than 10 similar incidents at Bulgarian defense firms since 2011, though the company did not identify any potential perpetrators or suspects.
- The latest incident follows an August explosion at a military plant near the village of Belitsa in the municipality of Tryavna, where Tryavna Mayor Dencho Minev confirmed no casualties occurred.
- Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev ordered a security review of critical infrastructure and directed police to intensify patrols at arms production and storage facilities to protect strategic locations from potential future threats.
