Bulgaria Probes Explosion at Weapon Storage Site The recent explosion and fire at an EMCO arms storage facility in Bulgaria has raised concerns about sabotage and outside interference in the country's defense sector.

Bulgaria's interior minister, Ivan Demerdzhiev, is investigating previous fires at EMCO facilities, including an August blaze, as well as similar incidents at other companies.
