A total of 11 explosions shook late on Saturday Chelopechene's military storehouses, which are on fire for about three days now.
The blasts were heard at about 11 pm, awaking the residents of the district as well as those, living in the nearby Chepintsi.
Bulgaria's Defense Minister Nikolay Tsonev and the Chief of the General Staff of the Bulgarian Army General Zlatan Stoykov have immediately visited the region to get informed on the current situation.
Police presence in Chelopechene remains strong as army's operative groups are constantly watching over the district.
Thursday morning the Bulgarian capital was shaken by powerful gunpowder explosions, which were heard and felt in the whole city after the Chelopechene military facility, where tons of ammo and TNT were stored, was engulfed by flames.
