The Turkish Ministry of Defense announced that it has eliminated the possible danger posed by a suspicious object of a naval mine in the Bosphorus Strait.
According to Reuters, Turkish officials urged ships in the area to avoid crossing the strait and not to approach the area where the diving team is examining "a sea-like object".
This morning, Turkish fishermen spotted a floating object upstream of the Bosphorus in the Bosphorus. Earlier, the Russian government warned about the release of Ukrainian landmines into the Black Sea.
