Bomb threat on board a plane from Israel. The aircraft landed in Sofia

Bulgarian authorities have implemented standard security procedures following bomb threats affecting flights. Currently, there is no specific terrorist threat identified. The acting secretary of the Ministry of Interior emphasized that all reports of potential threats are taken seriously. Increasingly, false alarms are targeting airlines, disrupting air traffic and necessitating enhanced security measures. Previous investigations into similar incidents have traced threats to IP addresses outside Bulgaria. The recent bomb scare in Sofia follows a series of similar alerts in the region, including a Wizz Air flight redirected to Budapest due to a bomb threat and disruptions in Poland involving flights from London and Copenhagen.
