A Ukrainian drone exploded near a gas pipeline in Bulgaria on Saturday, according to the country’s Defense Ministry. Bulgarian authorities stated the drone appeared to be a type used by Ukraine’s military and crashed in a field near the Romanian border, an area experiencing intensified drone warfare between Russia and Ukraine.
Ukraine has denied targeting Bulgaria with the drone. Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukrainian drones have occasionally strayed into NATO airspace. The incident occurred not far from a critical gas pipeline, though reports do not indicate damage to the infrastructure itself.
No right-leaning sources reported on this story beyond RT, which simply relayed Sofia’s claim that it was a Ukrainian drone. Left and center outlets both report Ukraine denying responsibility for the incident, noting its proximity to a gas pipeline and recent increase in drone activity in the region.
