Bulgarian Interior Minister Rumyana Bachvarova has described as "adequate" the actions of a border police official whose bullet killed an Afghan migrant late on Thursday evening.
According to initial versions, police tried to warn a group of 54 migrants hiding under a bridge by shooting in the air, but the bullet rebounded off the bridge hitting a migrant in the back of the neck. The man died from his wounds.
In an interview with private bTV station on Friday, Bachvarova made clear there had been a "ricochet" and not a direct attack. The minister, however, stopped short of commenting on the nature of "aggression" displayed by the group of migrants. The first reports of the Interior Ministry suggested the group had refused to act in accordance with police instructions.
