🇧🇬 11 people died in a multi-vehicle accident on a foggy section of the A1 highway in eastern Bulgaria, connecting Sofia to Burgas. 50 more were injured and evacuated to the hospital.

Prime Minister Roman Radev called it a "tragedy" and deployed planes for evacuations, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen cut short her visit to offer condolences.

The accident began with a bus-truck collision, and fog was identified as the likely cause of the pileup that ensued. Rescue operations remain a priority.
