Donald Tusk, the European Council President, confirmed that the Bulgarian Prime Minister had informed him that an incident had taken place on the Bulgarian border. The Bulgarian Prime Minister then left the EU summit he was attending in Brussels early.
It's not yet been confirmed whether the incident took place on Bulgaria's border with Greece or the country's border with Turkey, both of which are on a migrant route.
