Naval mine

Türkiye's naval forces have orchestrated a multinational military exercise this year, taking place in two regions, one in the Aegean Sea and the other in the Black Sea, for the first time.

Mine were found near the island of Kasella in Elafonisos in the Peloponnese.

Specifically, at noon on Wednesday, the Port Authority of Neapolis Voion was informed by a civilian about the discovery of an “kind ammunition” in the sea area of the island of Kasella in Elafonisos.

On a recent morning in eastern Ukraine, Karina Yatsina, a mine worker, was busy operating a conveyor belt in a dim, 1,200-foot-deep tunnel. Lights flickered at the end of the shaft, illuminating miners carving out the coal seams.

Japan's Sado mines added to World Heritage list. A network of mines on a Japanese island infamous for using conscripted wartime labor was added to UNESCO's World Heritage register on July 27 after South Korea dropped earlier objections to its listing.

The task forces of Türkiye, Romania and Bulgaria have embarked on a joint mission to detect and clear mines in the Black Sea under an agreement ratified earlier this year.

A World War II anti-tank mine found in the sea in southern Athens was destroyed in a controlled explosion on Thursday morning. 

The mine was found on Wednesday night by a swimmer in the area of Kavouri, at a depth of 1.5 meters.

The detonation was carried out by the Hellenic Navy's Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team after securing the area between Kavouri Avenue and Leto street.

Turkish, Romanian and Bulgarian forces will commence operations to remove mines from the Black Sea under an agreement ratified earlier this year, the Turkish ambassador to Romania has announced.

A potentially hazardous situation unfolded today near Varna's "Kabakum" beach as a floating mine was discovered in the sea, as reported by BNR. The Navy swiftly mobilized a mine countermeasures vessel to the scene to address the threat.

“Our country will definitely have enough mines and concrete”

A Greek-managed merchant ship transporting grains was lightly damaged off the coast of Ukraine and was likely to have been hit by a floating sea mine, according to maritime specialists and a Ukrainian government source.

This is the latest incident affecting commercial ships sailing in the Black Sea.
