One of the injured after the explosions in the Bulgarian town of Elin Pelin has died

The temperature reached over 1000 degrees during the explosions in the warehouses in Elin Pelin.

One of the seriously injured after the explosion in the warehouses for pyrotechnics in Elin Pelin on Thursday has died. Doctors are fighting for the life of a second victim.

Today, an army helicopter will fly around the perimeter, and drones with thermal cameras continue to monitor the situation. The active burning continues, said the acting minister Kalin Stoyanov, a BGNES reporter reported.

We assume that the owner's son is inside the warehouses, informed Stoyanov.

The good news is that the warehouse, which holds 2 tons of TNT, is not affected. There is a very heavy fire in the centre of the storage base.

Actions will begin 24 hours after the last thunder at the earliest, added Stoyanov.

A long and difficult investigation by the National Investigative Service is ahead, Stoyanov also said. | BGNES
