“The sea carried an anti-ship mine to one of the city’s beaches. Due to stormy weather, the mine washed ashore, where it exploded,” the department said.
It is noted that there were no injuries, since access to the beach area in this area of the city is limited. The department added that they were clarifying information about the damage caused by the explosion.
The military warned that from time to time the sea brings “dangerous surprises” to the coast.
In the morning it was reported that an explosion had occurred in Odessa, but the details of what happened were unknown.
