There is no evidence on the ground, they burn

„It is very likely that there is some subjective error. It seems to me absolutely wrong for someone to be shelling the dawn for the next day there near the warehouses. This assembly implies a complex of actions related to the connection of electric cords, electric triggers. All this could make a terrible mess“.

This is what he said in the show “This morning“ gen. Dimo Gyaurov, former director of the National Intelligence Service.

„It seemed to me that these warehouses were very close to each other, but still I do not venture to claim that I saw correctly. In principle, there should be earth embankments, concrete walls. I saw some shipping containers, I don't know if they belong there and what's in them, he added.

In his words, in such incidents it is difficult to reach reasonable conclusions.

„Evidence is missing on the ground, it burns. Let it be clear that there is a huge difference between burning pyrotechnics and detonating ammunition. They have a different purpose, different chemical composition, physical behavior, which is why you should not put an equal sign. The general thing is that they fall into the category of general danger and they have been very well regulated by law for the past ten years, said Gen. Gyaurov.

According to him, the evacuation of the residents of the village of Gara Elin Pelin was a correct measure, but there were gaps.

„The purpose of this system is to take measures for the safety of the population at an initial stage, when it is not yet clear what the development of events will be. At that time, it was not known what was inside, nor whether the direction of the wind would change and the settlement would be gassed, said the former director of the National Intelligence Service.
