The Bulgarian Food Safety Agency (BFSA) has established a new outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) at an industrial farm in the village of Popina, Sitovo municipality, Silistra district.

From the heat and the humidity black scorpions were scattered in Burgas. About the fearsome invasion, a reader of the flagship site, Flagman.bg, found a member in his bathroom in an apartment on Rilska Street in the city. The scorpion is 5-6 cm in size.

The man says that every year in the summer they notice the scorpions creeping through residential complexes, but not at home.
