The pollution following the explosion of the Kakhovka dam has been localised in the Odessa area and remains in Ukrainian territorial waters in the Black Sea.

There was no debris drifting towards the territorial waters of Bulgaria and Romania, said Captain Prof. Dr. Miroslav Tsvetkov Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna, reports BNR Varna. 

Based on data on sea currents from the EU's Copernicus Earth observation programme, simulations are being made of the movement and distribution of likely pollutants that would come from Odessa. So far, 30 simulations have been carried out, showing that it is unlikely that these pollutants would reach Bulgarian waters, he explained. Tsvetkov stressed that there is no information about any alarming results in the measurements carried out in Romania either.
