More than 150 sacks of red pepper that washed up on Lipite beach near Sinemorets will be taken away by sea. Tsarevo council and volunteers are organising the operation, deputy mayor Denis Dikhanov told Bulgarian National Radio (BNR).

A drone was also found on the same beach. Someone called the 112 emergency line about it on Sunday. This morning, regional governor Diko Dikov told Bulgarian National Television (BNT) that the drone will be destroyed once the navy asks for it.

"We are starting an operation by sea with pontoons and boats, which we will load at Lipite beach and unload at Butamyata beach," Dikhanov said.

The beach cannot be reached by land. The deputy mayor said the ground is difficult, the roads are in poor condition and the soil is wet after recent rain.

The regional environment inspectorate (RIOSV) and the river basin directorate took water samples over the weekend. So far they show nothing unusual, Dikhanov said.

It is not known where the sacks and the drone came from. The council will also deal with the tank near Sinemorets.
