Turkey detonates stray naval mine in Black Sea amid Ukraine war

"Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of laying mines in the Black Sea, and in late
March, Turkish and Romanian military diving teams defused stray mines in their waters. 
Turkish military diving teams safely detonated a floating naval mine in the Black Sea, the defense ministry said on Wednesday, the third such mine found in its waters since the Ukraine war.
Maritime officials say the risk of coming across floating mines in the major Black Sea shipping route is adding to perils for merchant ships in the region, and governments must ensure safe passage to keep supply chains running." JP
