The authorities closed the Hemus motorway in the section between intersections "Slanchevo” and "Povelianovo”, between km 407 and 412 in the district of Varna due to burning grasses and reduced visibility due to smoke.

At this moment, the wind is fanning the fires. Fire fighters are on the spot. There is no direct risk to the population.
