250,000 protective masks have been seized in an attempt to be illegally exported from Bulgaria at the Kapitan Andreevo border checkpoint between Bulgaria and Turkey. Officers from Bulgaria's Border Police said the masks were found in a lorry driven by a Turkish national. The driver tried to transfer the masks to the territory of the Republic of Turkey.
