The sappers cleared the mines with controlled explosions. Eyewitnesses report waves up to 30 m high After the operation, all but one of Šile’s beaches, where shells were found, were reopened.
The beach in the Black Sea resort of Şile near Istanbul was closed on July 30. There, at least 28 unexploded mines were found.
It was previously reported that the Russian Navy patrol boat “Sergey Kotov” found a derailed drifting Ukrainian mine in the Black Sea. The ammunition was found 180 kilometers northeast of the Bosphorus.
In Turkey, it is considered the most likely option that one of the ships was smuggling ammunition to Ukraine. She had to unload cargo near Istanbul so as not to be intercepted by warships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, writes the Militarist Telegram channel.
