At least three Israeli citizens have died and 20 have been injured after their airport shuttle bus exploded in the Bulgarian city of Burgas.
An eyewitness said that one of the buses carrying the Israelis across terminals in the airport blew up. Two other buses subsequently caught on fire.

According to Bulgarian media, at least 25 people have been hospitalized, some of them in critical condition.

The Foreign Ministry confirmed several casualties, but it is still unclear if the incident was a terrorist attack. Some people who witnessed the explosion claimed it happened immediately after someone climbed on board.
