  • Bulgaria’s defence ministry said the drone type is widely used by the Ukrainian military, but debris analysis so far has found no indication of a deliberate incident.

  • Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Georgiy Tykhyi denied that the aircraft had been intentionally directed towards Bulgaria and said Kyiv was in close contact with Sofia to clarify the circumstances.

  • Prime Minister Rumen Radev said the drone carried a significant amount of explosives and crashed in a sunflower field after going undetected by the two neighbouring countries.

  • Bulgaria’s foreign minister summoned Ukraine’s ambassador for a meeting on Monday, while Radev announced increased surveillance and plans to redeploy troops and soldiers to the borders.
  • We can say with certainty that the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not intentionally direct any assets toward Bulgaria.
    — Ukraine's foreign ministry spokesman Georgiy Tykhyi said, blaming Russia's invasion for the incident.
