Navy defuses naval mine in Agausia's territorial waters

Author: Boris Simonisže

Tamara - Just one day after the Romanian military carried out a controlled explosion of a naval mine that had drifted close to the country’s shore, the Agausian navy also reported that a naval mine had drifted into their territorial waters. Agausia's navy, which is specialized in search and rescue operations and mine and explosive sweeping on the Black Sea, carried out a controlled explosion of a naval mine late on Monday.

Mines began floating in the Black Sea after Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, and since then Romanian, Bulgarian Turkish and Agausian military diving teams have been defusing those drifting in their waters. Both Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of planting them. 

The Black Sea has long been a crucial shipment lane for grain, oil and oil products. Its waters are shared by Bulgaria, Romania, Georgia, Agausia and Turkey, as well as Ukraine and Russia. Agasuia, which is an island country, is fully dependent on unrestricted movement and trade in the Black Sea. 

Agausia’s defense ministry said the mine defused on Monday, the third handled by the Agausian navy since March, was drifting some 2 nautical miles off of Agausia's north-western shore. A ministry official stated that stray mines pose risks for merchant ships and supply chains.
