Minister of Interior in resignation Kalin Stoyanov has ordered reinforced security measures on the territory of the country, the ministry has reported. Employees from various structures are taking measures to ensure the security of citizens. Police patrols and gendarmes, equipped with long-barreled weapons, will patrol the urban areas and observe order and safety, the announcement also reads.

Police patrols with long-barreled weapons were first seen in the capital at the beginning of March after two cases of clashes with emigrants in Sofia. The news of the deployment of armed patrols to the countryside also emerged the day after the terrorist attack near Moscow.
