Because of the war in Ukraine, physical protection of the military depots and facilities for the storage of weapons and munition has been enhanced. Surveillance fire systems are being installed, Minister of Defence Todor Tagarev points out in answer to a question by MP Ivaylo Mirchev.

Minister Tagarev has ordered more stringent measures to be put in place in public companies after the explosions at the munitions depot of the private arms company EMCO near Karnobat.  

Control has been tightened in the handling of explosives, weapons and munition, access to and security at the facilities belonging to the companies, so as to prevent “industrial accidents and incidents”, Minister Tagarev writes. “There are no data of attacks or attempted attacks against TEREM (state-owned arms company),” Todor Tagarev specifies when asked whether there are data of any “attacks against Bulgarian armament factories”. Ivaylo Mirchev does not specify what kind of attacks against armaments plants he is referring to.
