The Russian Defense Ministry warned of the drifting of sea mines planted by Ukrainian forces in the black sea.

General Mikhail Mizintsev, the Head of the National Defense Management Center, said that foreign ships were stuck in Ukrainian posts due to the danger of mines.

Mizintsev added that the drift of the Ukrainian mines in the Black Sea threatens civilian navigation along the coasts of sea countries.

He noted that the Turkish authorities have found two sea mines in the Bosphorus Strait and in the Black Sea near the border with Bulgaria.

The general thanked the high professionalism of the Turkish specialists, as the mines were disabled without causing any damage to any of the ships passing through the strait.
