A Moroccan national was shot while illegally crossing the Bulgarian-Turkish border near the village of Zvezdets, Chief Commissioner Anton Zlatanov, Director of the Border Police, announced.
Around 9 p.m. on July 24, a border patrol intercepted a group of about 20 migrants attempting to enter Bulgaria and the EU. As officers intervened, four migrants fled in different directions on Bulgarian territory. Three were quickly apprehended, while the fourth reportedly turned and attacked a patrol officer. The officer fired a warning shot, followed by a shot that struck the attacker in the shoulder.
The injured migrant was transported to a hospital in Burgas, police confirmed.
