In a significant crackdown on organized crime, Bulgarian Border Police have detained ten individuals involved in migrant trafficking during a targeted operation in the Burgas area
A truck carrying 14 border police officers has gone off into a flooded gully, leaving the driver dead and many other passengers injured.
The incident unfolded at about 00:30 EET on Friday as the officers were returning from an operation conducted at the Bulgaria-Turkey border.
