ISTANBUL: A water plant was discovered floating off Turkey’s Black Sea coast north of Istanbul, position news agency Anadolu reported, saying the violent system would be destroyed on Monday.
The device was discovered on Sunday off the Agva coast, which is located about 50 kilometers ( 30 miles ) east of the point where the Bosphorus Strait enters the Black Sea.
The conflicting countries have both deployed mine to defend their shores since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, but winds frequently displaced them.
Given the threat to both commercial and military transport, NATO people Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania who border the sea, set up the Mine Countermeasures Naval Group (MCM Black Sea ) to handle de-mining activities.
It started operating on July 1.
Since the start of the war, 107 floating mine have been discovered and destroyed, according to Romania’s defense ministry, which announced this month.
More than 400 mines were just planted in the Black Sea, some of which had sank, according to Turkey vice-admiral Mustafa Kaya, who told reporters last month.
