Two of the three fire fronts in the Slavyanka mountain region along the Bulgarian-Greek border have been contained. The third outbreak, which emerged yesterday on the western front, continues to pose significant challenges for firefighters. The blaze is at its peak, and only aerial support is currently effective in managing the situation.

Dozens of Bulgarian trucks were not allowed to enter Turkish territory when they tried to cross the Bulgarian-Turkish border checkpoint near Svilengrad. The trucks were brought back to Bulgarian territory with the motive that they should be quarantined for 14 days.
