This was reported by the Turkish TV channel Habertürk. It is noted that local fishermen reported the discovery to the coast guard, after which the movement of ships and vehicles was suspended in the port to remove the mine from the territory. “ The sea mine, using a tow truck, was loaded onto a truck belonging to the special provincial administration and delivered to an empty area for inspection and further disposal,” the material says. The coast guard did not specify the identity of the mine. As Regnum reported, on December 8, Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Mikhail Popov said that a powerful storm in the Black Sea at the end of November could have scattered the anchor mines that Kiev militants had installed. This poses a danger to civilian ships, which are being undermined one after another. Military experts from Russia, Georgia, and Turkey agreed that this “horned death” in the Black Sea region could only come from the direction of Ukraine. According to Popov, the United States and Ukraine are silent about the fact that their actions have turned the Black Sea basin into an extremely dangerous region for shipping for many years. At the beginning of October last year, a cargo ship flying the Turkish flag hit a mine in the Black Sea. The incident occurred off the coast of Romania, near the entrance to the Sulina Canal. The ship received minor damage. The crew was not injured then. In July, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that movement in the northwestern Black Sea poses a danger to sailors due to mines. The Russian military discovered a Ukrainian sea mine that was drifting and posing a threat to ships. In this regard, the department pointed out the irresponsibility of the Ukrainian Navy. On September 20, an explosion occurred on a merchant ship sailing under the Togolese flag in the Black Sea. At the time of the explosion, the ship was located near the Danube branch of the Sulina. There were 12 crew members on board. |
