A naval mine was discovered and destroyed in Romania

The Romanian Naval Forces destroyed another naval mine on the Black Sea coast.

The Ministry of Defense of Romania stated that a Turkish cargo ship warned the Romanian Naval Forces about the danger.

The press service of the Romanian Naval Forces reported this.

The mine drifted 4.6 km north of the port of Constanța. Military divers neutralized the explosives.

This is the fourth naval mine to be defused off the coast of Romania.

Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, and Ukraine have neutralized approximately 40 mines in the western part of the Black Sea since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine.

As previously reported, at the beginning of December, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported the destruction of a naval mine in Odesa. The explosive device was brought to the shore by the storm.

Specialists conducted a controlled detonation of the detected mine.
