A sea mine was spotted off the coast of Bulgaria in the Black Sea. It was liquidated by the military, informs Ministry of Defense of the country on Friday, July 1.
It is indicated that a message about a floating mine was received the day before from the civilian ship Monterrey. A helicopter, a minesweeper and auxiliary ships went in search of her. The mine was found 27 nautical miles from the mouth of the Kamchia River, which flows into the Black Sea near Varna. It was destroyed by controlled detonation.
Military experts classified the device as an anchor mine of the YaM type, located in a combat position.
Recall that there are up to 600 Russian mines in the Black Sea. They periodically break away from anchors and spontaneously drift off the coast of Ukraine, Turkey and Bulgaria.
It was also reported that in a few days in the Odessa region five mines were brought ashore after the storm.
