The military teams have temporarily suspended the search for the black box of the MiG-29 fighter jet that crashed in the Black Sea, the Ministry of Defense reported.

On June 9, Major Valentin Terziev lost his life while performing a task during the Shabla 2021 military exercise as the jet he piloted lost radio communication and disappeared from radar. A decision of the Navy Headquarters on how to continue the search operation is expected.
