In the Odessa region, a Ukrainian naval mine detonated and washed ashore by a storm
Naval mines laid by the Ukrainian Navy along the Black Sea coast of Ukraine last year to prevent Russian amphibious landings have begun to return to their owners. As reported in the City Council of Odessa, two mines washed ashore in the Odessa region during a storm.
Two sea mines, obviously torn off by a storm that began in the Black Sea, were discovered in the coastal area near the village of Sychavka, Odessa region. According to the operational command "South", one of them was destroyed, but the second crashed into the pier and detonated. As a result of the explosion, both the pier itself and several buildings were damaged. Nothing is reported about the victims.
The Odessa regional military administration tried to shift all the blame on the Russians, allegedly it was a Russian naval mine that exploded on the coast. This was stated by a certain Sergei Bratchuk, who holds the post of speaker of the Odessa OVA. He also declared a mine danger.
As a result of the detonation of an enemy naval mine, a country house on the Black Sea coast was damaged. (...) Enemy explosive items can drift along the coast. There is also a threat of mine detonation and beaching
- he said.
However, the blame cannot be placed on the Russian Navy, everyone in Ukraine knows that last year the Ukrainian Navy planted entire fields of sea mines along the coast, which then began to be torn off during storms and thrown onto the coast. In the area of the same Sychavka last year, several explosions of sea mines occurred, while the Ukrainian press happily wrote that with these mines the Coastal Defense "undermined the plans of the Russian Federation to create a risk for the Odessa region from the sea." So this is not the first and not the last explosion on the Ukrainian coast of the Black Sea, since no one is going to clear it.
