The Bosphorus, which was closed in both directions after a mine, which is thought to be one of the mines laid by Ukraine at the entrance of the Bosphorus, was seen at the entrance of the Bosphorus, was reopened to ship traffic after the mine was destroyed.
It has been reported that the Bosphorus, which was closed to ship traffic in both directions for security reasons, has been reopened to ship passages.
The General Directorate of Coastal Safety made a statement on its social media account: “The Bosphorus has been opened to ship traffic”.
The Bosphorus was closed to two-way ship traffic after the fishermen found mines off Sarıyer-Garipçe.
Neutralized
Minister of National Defense Akar made a statement about the mine found in the Bosphorus. Akar said, “In the morning, we received information that a ‘mine-like object was seen’ from a commercial ship off the Bosphorus. Our elements were already continuing their intensive patrols and duties in those regions. Our SAS team was quickly transferred to the area. After it was determined that the object in question was a mine, it was withdrawn to a safe area.
As a result of the investigation, the mine, which was determined to be old type, was neutralized by our SAS team. We talked to both Russian and Ukrainian authorities about the issue. Our coordination continues.
Necessary coordination was made with the Coast Guard and other relevant institutions and organizations, in particular our Naval Forces, in order to ensure the safe continuation of maritime traffic. Necessary measures have been taken. Maritime traffic continues safely. The floating and flying elements of our Naval Forces vigilantly follow the activities and continue their work,” he said.
