The FSB of Russia previously stated that the Ukrainian military, after the start of the Russian special operation, installed about 420 mines on the approaches to the ports of Odessa, Ochakov, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny. The service did not rule out the possibility of the drift of derailed mines into the Bosphorus and further into the seas of the Mediterranean basin due to the current. The Turkish Navy has asked ships to track drifting mines following a Russian FSB report, the Hürriyet newspaper reported. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said that the military is taking the necessary measures in connection with information about drifting mines in the Black Sea.
