Wave of fake bomb threats in Varna and Burgas: buildings evacuated

Critical situation: Fake bomb threats block institutions

Today, a number of key institutions in the city of Varna – including the Municipality, the Tax Office, and several hospitals – received another series of malicious reports about explosive devices being planted. As a result of the threats, an immediate evacuation of employees and visitors was required.

Security measures are a priority, even though the reports are being treated as another wave of fake threats.

The situation in Burgas

The Courthouse in Burgas was also the target of a threatening letter, which caused tension. Unlike in Varna, the building was not evacuated, and court hearings continued as scheduled. Police teams and Judicial Guard officers are conducting a thorough search for suspicious objects on the premises.

Security measures

• Increased police presence around administrative buildings.
• Searching the premises for suspicious objects.
• Coordination between law enforcement agencies to identify the source of the threats.

Reporters Svetlana Gancheva and David Suknarov continue to monitor the development of the situation.
