Drone washes up on Cabacum beach near Bulgaria’s Varna
A drone about two metres long and 1.5 metres wide washed up on Cabacum beach near Bulgaria’s Black Sea city of Varna on the morning of August 26, Bulgarian National Television (BNT) reported.
A Bulgarian Navy specialist team was sent to the site to examine the device. The area was cordoned off.
According to initial information, the drone does not pose a danger, BNT said.
This is the latest such case on the Bulgaria’s northern Black Sea Coast, with the military saying that in recent days the sea has thrown up about six drones or parts of drones, the report said.
It is assumed that the northeast wind is moving debris or entire drones towards the Bulgarian coast.
Navy sappers said that the strong northeast wind and the high waves were the reason for the frequent surfacing of drones along the northern Black Sea coast in recent days.
Separately, Bulgaria’s Defence Ministry said on August 25 that a specialist team from Bourgas Naval Base had been ordered that day to identify an unmanned aerial vehicle spotted in the waters of the Black Sea between Tsarevo and the village of Varvara.
On site, military personnel determined that it was an electric reconnaissance drone that posed no danger. The drone was transported to the naval base.
