Around 11:30 a.m. today, a report was filed that a 53-year-old man who was driving a vehicle - an excavator - was injured in the yard of the Arsenal factory in Kazanlak, the prosecutor's office said. He was performing an activity in which the machine was pushing waste material from the factory's production to a designated storage location with a shovel.
