The BBC has been lively commenting on the Bulgarian trace in the explosion of ammunition depots in the Czech Republic in 2014. The media reported that one of the people who stored in Vrbetica ammunitions that were meant for Ukraine was the Bulgarian arms dealer Emilian Gebrev, who six months after the explosion became the target of an assassination with an unknown nerve agent in Sofia.

Prime Minister Andrej Babis announced during a shocking press conference that the Czech security services have clear evidence of the involvement of GRU's specialised 29155 unit, which is believed to be tasked with sabotage, subversion and assassination, in the explosion. Prague will expel 18 embassy staff who it says are members of the Russian secret services.

The news was confirmed from the hospital where he worked, writes Klix.ba and adds that it is Dr Sergej Maksimishin, who was the deputy chief doctor of the hospital in Omsk. However, the exact reason for this 55-year-old doctor's death has not been announced yet.

"I am absolutely sure that after several days of careful monitoring of the "poisoning" affair in Pristina, you must now have a conclusion as to what exactly occurred.

The Turkish Defense Ministry on Wednesday said that training has commenced on the controversial Russian S-400 missile defense system that has soured Ankara's ties with Washington and raised tension with Athens.

In a post on Twitter, the minister said that training on the long-range air and missile defense system has started in Gatchina, Russia.

Britain and Bulgaria are jointly investigating the 2015 poisoning of a Bulgarian arms dealer to determine whether it involved novichok, the nerve agent used in the poisoning of Russian double-agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Salisbury last year, the Guardian writes. 

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that the the Il-20 had been downed by Syrian military forces after Israel jets put it under attack off the Syrian coast. MoD spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov also said that the Israeli jets deliberately created a dangerous situation in Latakia.
