Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev said the authorities "are not ruling out outside interference" in the incident in central Bulgaria.

No-one was injured in the blaze that triggered a series of explosions. EMCO company, whose weapons are used by Ukraine against invading Russian forces, said the fire at its site was sabotage and that human error was "completely ruled out".
火灾引发了一系列爆炸,没有人受伤。 乌克兰使用EMCO公司的武器来对抗入侵的俄罗斯军队,该公司表示,其现场起火是蓄意破坏,“完全排除了人为失误”。
It did not say who might be responsible. The latest incident follows last month's fire and blasts at another EMCO ammunition warehouse in the area.
它没有说谁可能对此负责。 最新事件是在上个月该地区另一个 EMCO 弹药仓库发生火灾和爆炸之后发生的。
In a statement, EMCO said the storage facility that was burned this time - near the central village of Gorni Varpishta, some 170km (106 miles) east of the capital Sofia - had not been used for months and was inspected just 20 days ago, when full compliance with all regulations was confirmed.

It cited a number of similar incidents at Bulgarian defence firms since 2011, saying that the latest was "no exception to the series of acts of sabotage against the Bulgarian defence industry".
报告援引自2011年以来保加利亚国防公司发生的多起类似事件,称最近的一次“对保加利亚国防工业的一系列破坏行为也不例外”。
