This time off the coast of Bulgaria.
A mine has been discovered in the Black Sea near Bulgaria's territorial waters, Turkey's Defense Ministry said on Twitter on Monday.
The dangerous object was discovered on the morning of March 28 on the coast near the town of Ineada, near the border with Bulgaria.
“Underwater Defense Teams (SAS) in the region were quickly relocated to the scene to neutralize it,” the Turkish Defense Ministry said.
On March 28, 2022, last Saturday in Bulgaria, the Republic of Bulgaria will be able to visit the United States of America.

This is not the first mine found in the Black Sea since Russia's attack on Ukraine. Thus, on March 26, the Turkish authorities were forced to stop the movement of ships across the Bosphorus due to the discovery of an old mine in its waters. The sappers cleared the mine, after which navigation through the strait was restored. After that, the Turkish side asked Ukraine and Russia for consultations.
Earlier, Andrei Klimenko, project manager at the Black Sea Institute for Strategic Studies and editor-in-chief of BlackSeaNews, said that the Russian military had replaced the sea routes from the Bosphorus to Odessa , but blamed Ukraine. It is a question of mining of the territory where the recommended ways for commercial vessels are laid.
