The nationwide trial for Bulgaria's new emergency alert system, BG-ALERT, is set to take place on November 29, following successful regional testing. This critical exercise, scheduled from 12:00 to 12:30 at noon, aims to evaluate the system's efficiency and reach on a national scale.

The tests of the BG ALERT system start from Tuesday. First, this will be done in the Gabrovo region. The tests will continue until November 29, when there will be a national test. Subscribers of all three mobile operators will receive these messages.

A bizarre and unsettling message sent to mobile phones by the BG-ALERT early warning system startled Bulgarians from all walks of life.
