Bulgaria's State National Security Agency (DANS) announced that its officers had detained Friday a UK ship in the city of Varna over suspicions of illegal arms shipments.
During a routine check on the "Angela" ship traveling under UK flag, the DANS agents discovered a discrepancy between the documentation and the actual contents of the containers on the ship.
According to preliminary data, the officers discovered arms and double-use goods in the containers.
The "Angela" is sailing from Russia to Port Said in Egypt with stops in the Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey along the way.
The District Prosecutor of Varna has ordered a preliminary investigation on the case.
