An explosion on a bus transporting Israeli tourists at the airport near the city of Burgas in Bulgaria has left at least three Israelis dead.
The Foreign Ministry has announced that it is sending personnel to the site.
Voice of Israel Radio said that 25 people are wounded. It said that a suicide bomber boarded the bus before the explosion occurred.
According to one report the explosion occurred on a bus carrying Israeli tourists in the terminal "Srfovo". According to another report, shots were fired at the Israelis.
Shoshi, an eyewitness, told Voice of Israel Radio "We went through passport control and representatives were waiting to deposit us in buses to the hotels. We put the bags in the trunk, and after a few minutes, the bus exploded in flames. Then we returned to the terminal, and now we are trying to determine who is missing and who is dead.”
Shoshi's son added: "People who survived the explosion escaped from the window, and could not step over the bodies. The bus was shattered on both its sides.”
