The army is ready to react and provide help if debris from the Chinese Tiangong -1 space station fell on Bulgarian territory. This was what Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Krassimir Karakachanov said.

The station is orbiting the earth and is expected to break up during its re-entry into the atmosphere of the earth in the coming days. Tiangong -1 passes above this country every 89 minutes for a period 15-20 seconds, it was reported. Theoretically, the chances of debris from Tiangong -1 falling on the territory of Bulgaria are 0.01%, the Deputy Prime Minister said.
