Details
It is noted that the incident occurred near the railway station on Baltska Road. A passerby reported it to the law enforcement officers.
A forensic investigation team from the territorial police unit, employees of the State Emergency Service, and medics are working at the scene. All circumstances of the event are being established, after which it will be given a legal qualification.
