The victims included a child, Varna police spokeswoman Ivana Mileva told AFP, adding that "this is probably not the final toll".

Electricity was cut in affected areas and the authorities said it would not be restored for the time being due to safety reasons.

The bad weather is forecasted to continue on Friday.
