Gas leak from tanker halts train traffic in Karlovo
A serious incident at the railway station in Karlovo has led to a temporary suspension of train traffic. The cause is a confirmed gas leak from a tanker located in the station area.
Teams have been immediately dispatched to the scene to bring the situation under control. Specialists are working to isolate the leak to ensure the safety of citizens and employees in the area.
Due to the danger that has arisen, traffic on the Sofia – Burgas railway line has been suspended. Passengers planning to travel in this direction should monitor information from BDZ (Bulgarian State Railways) for any changes to the train schedule.
At this time, there are no reports of injuries or risk of explosion. Authorities are urging citizens to avoid the station area until emergency operations are fully completed.
Normal train traffic is expected to be restored once technical operations to secure the tanker are finished.
