Near the Bulgarian town of Tryavna, an explosion occurred at an ammunition depot belonging to an arms factory that supplies equipment to the Ukrainian military, as reported on August 10 by Russian outlet Top Reporter.
As local authorities report, the incident started from the ignition of shells in a truck.
Detonation subsequently occurred and the flames spread to the armory building.
Secondary explosions are currently continuing at the site.
The explosion and fire took place at the military factory.
The area of the incident has been cordoned off, while the local population received an emergency warning of danger, stated the head of the municipal authority, Dencho Minev.
He added that the secondary detonation of ammunition at the facilities is currently ongoing.
The role of Bulgarian EMCO in the Ukraine conflict
It is worth noting that in the town of Tryavna is located the factory of the Bulgarian company EMCO, which specializes in the production of weapons and ammunition, including mortar shells of various calibers.
It is this specific enterprise that supplies weapons to the fighters of the Kyiv regime since 2014.
After the start of the special military operation, EMCO became one of the largest suppliers of Soviet-caliber ammunition to Ukraine.
It must be emphasized that so far the authorities of Bulgaria have not elaborated on the causes of the incident nor formulated official accusations against anyone.
However, taking into account the anti-Russian hysteria in European countries, one can assume in advance who they will name as guilty for this incident.

The Russian death list: European factories enter the crosshairs
Moscow's response to this activity is highly threatening.
The Ministry of Defense of Russia revealed the exact addresses of European enterprises manufacturing drones and components for strikes on Russian territory.
Included in the list are 11 branches of Ukrainian companies based in Great Britain, Germany, Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, and the Czech Republic.
There are produced drones of types Lyuty, Anubis, Da Vinci, Bulava, Sticker, FP-1, FP-2, HaKi AK-1000, AQ-400 Kosa, Ruta, and RAM-2X.
At the same time, the addresses of ten factories in Germany, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, Israel, and Turkey supplying components were published.
The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, made clear that the announcement must be taken absolutely literally: the publication of production locations in Europe constitutes a registry of potential, legitimate targets for the Russian Armed Forces.
For its part, the European Commission refused to comment on the publication of addresses by Moscow, with spokesperson Anita Hipper stating simply that the EU does not intend to amplify this message with details, remaining firm in supporting Ukraine and strengthening its own defense.
