The remains of two unmanned aerial vehicles were found on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast on Saturday, with the first discovered on the beach between Kranevo and the Albena resort complex and a second reported later near the Chernomorets chalet in Varna's Galata district.
Specialized Navy teams were dispatched to both locations to inspect and secure the remains. In the first case, servicemen from the Varna Naval Base examined the site between Kranevo and Albena and transported the recovered parts. According to information cited by Bulgarian National Radio from a Navy source, the remains had been identified as a Russian decoy drone without a warhead.
The first discovery was reported by a man walking along the beach. Border Police and Interior Ministry personnel were also seen at the scene. The regional governor of Dobrich confirmed that the remains of an unmanned aerial vehicle had been found and said the competent authorities would determine their origin and decide how they should be removed and disposed of.
Later in the day, authorities received a second report concerning drone remains on the beach below the Chernomorets chalet in the Galata district of Varna. The Navy has not yet established what type of aircraft the remains belong to. A specialized military team is expected to examine the object and transport the recovered part.
