The Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant has initiated planned maintenance on its sixth unit, resulting in only Unit 5 remaining operational.

In other developments, President Iliana Iotova convened the Consultative Council of National Security after drones were reported to have reached Bulgarian waters. Prime Minister Rumen Radev publicly denied claims made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy regarding the involvement of Russian drones in recent incidents. Additionally, the government has given swift approval to a gunpowder factory project owned by businessman Gerbev and has decided to cease the indexation of advance payments within the construction sector. Opposition figure Asen Vassilev, a Member of the National Assembly and leader of 'We Continue the Change,' voiced strong criticism, stating that the government is fearful and lacks a strategy to safeguard Bulgaria.
