The Bosphorus is closed due to the breakdown of a ship en route to Bulgaria

This was reported by the Turkish TV channel A Haber with reference to local authorities.

According to him, the breakdown occurred on the 134-meter ship SPARTA, which was heading from Egypt to Bulgaria.

Two tugboats were sent to help.
