10 Bomb Alerts in Plovdiv Province and 6 in Pazardzhik Today

In the Plovdiv region, reports of bomb threats have been received for the third consecutive day. Just before noon, a warning about an explosive device was reported at the 'Druzhba' kindergarten in the 'Zahden' district of Plovdiv. The management of the facility took immediate action to evacuate the children and notified the parents about the pickup location. A police unit was dispatched to the scene.

Senior Commissioner Vasil Kostadinov announced that today a total of 10 threat reports were registered in Plovdiv and the surrounding area. One of the reports was sent to UMBAL 'Plovdiv', while the others concerned schools and kindergartens. He added that the number of threats today is lower compared to the previous two days.

According to Kostadinov, such threats are not only reported in Plovdiv but across the entire country. In some cases, messages were received the day before but were only acted upon today. The contents of the messages often claim that the attack is by the 'Islamic State', although the texts vary.

In situations like this, specific procedures are activated: on-site inspection, evacuation, search for explosive materials, and, if necessary, the use of trained dogs to detect bombs. Specialized units within the Ministry of Interior are working diligently to quickly locate and prevent further threats.

So far, no bombs have been found in Plovdiv or Pazardzhik. In Pazardzhik region, six reports of explosive devices in schools and kindergartens have been received, as stated by the spokesperson of the regional directorate of the Ministry of Interior, Miroslav Stoyanov.

All reports have been thoroughly checked according to established procedures, and necessary actions have been taken. The educational and childcare institutions in the region have been inspected by the appropriate authorities.
