The Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine discovered a bomb with Russian markings in the Black Sea, on which the enemy installed a modified fuse.

The fuse is capable of being triggered when ships pass by, the press service of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.

“The enemy munition was dropped by Russian aviation in order to create a threat to civilian ships heading to Ukrainian ports. This is not the first time that Russia is trying to block civilian shipping using the latest modifications of explosive objects,” the report says.

The munition was successfully destroyed by controlled detonation.

So far, the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has successfully destroyed about 20 mines of this type.
