Bulgarian Navy team destroyed the drone with explosive attached found near coastal village of Tyulenovo

A Bulgarian Navy specialist team on September 18 destroyed a drone found near the village of Tyulenovo on Bulgaria’s northern Black Sea coast last night.

The find was reported to the Navy on the night of September 17 and a Navy team departed for the site in the early morning of September 18, destroying the drone at 11am after deciding its condition made it too hazardous to attempt to move.

The team carried out an on-scene inspection, which revealed that an 82mm high-explosive mortar shell was attached to the wreckage of the drone.

It was assessed that due to its severely damaged condition, moving and transporting the munition to a range or other suitable disposal site was impossible.

It was decided to destroy the mortar shell ammunition on site, with a controlled explosion, in a secure area with a radius of 150 m.

The occupants of the buildings in the vicinity have been asked to strictly observe the safety measures indicated to them.
