保加利亚中部Gorni Varpishta村附近一处弹药储存设施发生火灾并引发爆炸，无人伤亡1。该设施由私营防务公司EMCO运营，距首都索菲亚170公里1。EMCO公司声称此次火灾系破坏行为，并表示"该储存设施已数月未使用，20天前检查时完全符合所有规定"1。保加利亚内政部长Ivan Demerdzhiev表示当局不排除外部干预1。
EMCO公司为乌克兰供应武器以对抗俄罗斯入侵1。该公司宣称自2011年以来，保加利亚防务公司已发生多起类似破坏事件1。上月EMCO在该地区另一弹药库也发生过火灾和爆炸1。俄罗斯被指对欧洲防务设施发动了一系列破坏活动1。EMCO所有人Gebrev曾在2015年与其子和员工遭下毒，三名俄罗斯籍人士因涉嫌谋杀未遂而被控1。
A fire at an ammunition storage depot operated by private defense company EMCO in central Bulgaria has triggered an investigation into possible sabotage. 1 The facility, located near the village of Gorni Varpishta approximately 170 kilometers (106 miles) from the capital Sofia, caught fire and subsequently exploded, though no casualties were reported. 1
EMCO has dismissed the possibility of human error, stating that the storage facility had not been in use for months and passed a complete inspection twenty days prior to the incident. 1 The company contends the fire represents deliberate sabotage, pointing to a pattern of incidents affecting Bulgarian defense contractors. 1 Bulgaria's Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev indicated that authorities are not ruling out external involvement in the incident. 1 EMCO has documented multiple similar destructive events at Bulgarian defense facilities since 2011, according to the company's assessment. 1
The incident marks the second major fire at an EMCO ammunition depot in the region within a month. 1 EMCO supplies weapons to Ukraine in its defense against Russian invasion. The company's ownership history includes a poisoning case: founder Valentin Gebrev, along with his son and an employee, were targets of a poisoning attack in 2015, with three Russian nationals subsequently charged in connection with an attempted murder. 1
