Early in the morning, it seemed that the explosions became more active. The last one was 07:53. We are starting to count the time again. After 24 hours, teams can enter the warehouses, said Nikolay Nikolov, advisor to the Minister of the Interior /p>
„The organization is very good. This allowed us to narrow the defensive perimeter. The retail chain can now use its warehouse (which also caught fire in the explosions – ed.). I congratulate colleagues for caring for people. In such a situation, the smallest mistake would cost a human life”, he added.
„At the moment, robots and drones can only enter warehouses. When there is an explosion, we return them to their starting position. Explosives are not combat but have different metals that burn and are meant to be colored. This is something that worries us and that is why we attack from the air with water. Primarily, we are cooling so that the other warehouse doesn't explode as well”, Nikolov emphasized.
Six firefighters from Elin Pelin decide to enter the warehouses when the explosions begin to rescue victims.
“They enter, transport and take the two injured to the ambulance. In such a situation, colleagues are abstracted. They are trying to do what they have to do," Commissioner Georgi Ivanov added.
