Explosion and fire hit Bulgarian EMCO arms depot for second time in weeks
On the night of September 12, an explosion and fire broke out at an EMCO weapons and ammunition depot near the village of Tsareva Livada in Bulgaria's Gabrovo region, the second such incident at an EMCO facility in recent weeks. Bulgarian authorities are investigating possible sabotage, with the interior minister not ruling out external interference. EMCO is owned by Bulgarian arms dealer Emilian Gebrev, whose facilities Bulgarian prosecutors have linked to attacks by Russian agents.
