Today in Varna there will be celebrations for the 145th anniversary of the establishment of the Bulgarian Navy. The flags of our military ships will be raised at the Naval Station, and there will be many attractive demonstrations.
"And today, the Naval Forces continue the traditions established by our predecessors. Our task continues and for the future will be to protect the maritime sovereignty and maritime interests of the Republic of Bulgaria. And in this complex situation in which we find ourselves, the naval forces continue to carry out this watch and perform this task daily, hourly and minute by minute", said Rear Admiral Kiril Mihailov - Commander of the Naval Forces.
The rear admiral added that naval vessels are constantly conducting surveillance in the Black Sea to ensure the safety of shipping. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, 6 floating mines have been destroyed and almost 60 signals have been responded to.
"Because for us this is the most important task - to keep the coasts safe".
