Explosions have taken place at the arms company location owned by Emilian Gebrev in Bulgaria. According to the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency (BTA), around 300 employees of the factory near the village of Belitsa were evacuated.

There are no reports of injuries or fatalities. These incidents come in the context of earlier reports that employees of the Russian military intelligence agency GRU had attempted a poisoning attack on Gebrev.
