Archaeologists from Varna discovered an ancient object that has an analogue only in the collection of the Louvre. The find was found during the excavations of part of the sanctuary of Ancient Odessos, Elina Mircheva, curator and archaeologist at the Archaeological Museum in Varna, told Radio Varna:

A street in the rebuilt Varna district of the Monument to the Bulgarian-Soviet Friendship (the so-called "Zheraven Vrah") collapsed after an accident on the main water supply to the resorts late last night. The nearby "Vasil Levski" boulevard turned into a river, and the underpass on which the traffic diverges to "Knyaz Boris I" boulevard (the road to Golden Sands) was blocked.

A new series of bomb threats have been made to schools in Sofia, Varna and Burgas.

Around 10:05 a.m. this morning, 35 schools in Sofia received the threatening email, which claims that an explosive device has been planted in the school. This was reported to BNT by the head of the regional police - Vanya Kastreva.

Officers from the Main Directorate "Fighting Organized Crime" are working with two partner services on guidelines for a possible person involved in the bomb threats who is outside the territory of Bulgaria.
