Explosions at Bulgarian arms factory set to export to Ukraine
Euractiv ^ | 6-25-23 | Krassen Nikolov

Ammunition warehouses of the Bulgarian arms company EMKO exploded early on Sunday near Karnobat, a few days after Bulgaria announced it would join the coalition to supply shells to Ukraine.

The warehouses that exploded Sunday were targeted a year ago in an instance of sabotage.

They are owned by one of the most famous Bulgarian arms manufacturers and traders, Emilian Gebrev, who, eight years ago, was the victim of an assassination attempt with a substance similar to Novichok, for which the Bulgarian prosecutor’s office accused Russian military intelligence agents.

“This is an inexplicable strong fire at midnight. The most important thing is that no one got hurt. We cannot know what happened; we still do not know what caused the explosions last year, let alone now after a few hours,” Gebrev told bTV, adding the warehouses contained materials for the manufacture of defence products.

Representatives of the company EMKO said the explosion was, like last time, the result of sabotage as there was nothing in the warehouses that could spontaneously explode.

85% of the world NOT supporting sanctions

What a silly statistic...

Is that by land mass? 71% of the world is covered by water

Is that by population? So China, russia, and 85 other postage stamp size countries that dont even exchange trade dont support sanctions?

Or is that by country count? Again a bunch of postage stamp size countries that dont even exchange trade.

Statistics...yeah
