Partial state of emergency in Belitsa after explosion at ammunition depot

State of emergency declared after the explosion near Belitsa

A partial state of emergency has been declared in the Belitsa area following an incident at an ammunition depot. The decision was made during a crisis staff meeting in the Tryavna Municipality to ensure the safety of citizens and allow for a thorough search for unexploded ordnance.

"We want to provide full assurance that the area can be secured," said the Mayor of Tryavna, Dencho Minev.

Details of the measures:

• The state of emergency covers a perimeter of 500 meters around the site in Belintsi.
• The restriction mainly affects forest territory and does not hinder normal life in Tryavna and Opachkovtsi.
• Specialists from the Ministry of Defense, the Land Forces, and the Specialized Counter-Terrorism Unit (SOBT) are working on-site.

Although the danger has not completely passed, the situation is currently calm. High temperatures necessitate constant monitoring of the perimeter, as the situation could change quickly. Police patrols and the gendarmerie remain on-site, but the movement of citizens and tourists is not restricted.
