An unusual incident happened on the beach of the popular Black Sea Turkish resort of Sile near Istanbul.
There, on July 30, 28 unexploded mines were discovered, as reported by the NTV channel. The beach is closed.
The dangerous find was discovered at about ten o’clock in the morning (the time coincides with Belarusian time) while divers were diving.
At least 28 munitions were discovered, of which 8 were brought ashore for subsequent destruction, – a statement from local authorities of MIA Rossiya Segodnya quoted by the TV channel.
According to reports, the found mines are planned to be destroyed on Wednesday, August 2.
Currently, divers continue to examine the seabed off the beach. Sofular Beach is reported to be closed.
According to law enforcement officers, all other beaches of Shile are open, “no problems have arisen there.”
In turn, in a conversation with a Russian news agency, military expert Igor Korotchenko suggested that the above-mentioned beach could have been closed due to Ukrainian drifting mines.
He recalled: finds of this kind had previously been discovered on the Romanian coast and near the Turkish straits.
