| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] A bulk carrier transporting grain from Odessa hit a mine in the Black Sea. Reuters reported this on the evening of November 18 . Sources said that the Liberian-flagged bulk carrier Georgia S left the Odessa region and was damaged on the high seas. According to MarineTraffic, the bulk carrier was heading to Romania. As Regnum reported, in 2022, a dredger of the Romanian Navy exploded in the Black Sea on a drifting mine, which it was about to neutralize. According to the Romanian Ministry of Defense, the incident occurred about 46 km northeast of the Romanian port of Constanta, when the ship was hit by strong winds and waves and was unable to avoid a mine, but no one was injured and the ship did not receive serious damage. Later, in October, an object similar to a sea mine was discovered in the Black Sea in the humanitarian corridor through which a deal was being carried out to export food from Ukraine . The Joint Coordination Center reported that the tug SAPFIRE and the search and rescue boat SAR-02 left Odessa to inspect the site. |
