17 drifting mines have been discovered and destroyed in the Black Sea by the Naval Forces of Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey since the beginning of the war in Ukraine until today. This was said by Fleet Admiral Velko Velkov at the opening of the Poseidon 2024 naval anti-mine exercise at the Burgas Naval Base. He specified that most of the mines were found on Turkish territory.
"80% of the country's trade turnover passes through our two ports, Varna and Burgas. That is why it is very important to guarantee the free movement of goods and people. This is also the main task of the Naval Forces in the Republic of Bulgaria. The main danger for us, as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine is the mine danger," commented Velkov, BNR Burgas reported.
