Russia Says Magnetic Mines Found On Tanker At Ust-Lugaport
Russia's Investigative Committee reported that several NATO-produced magnetic mines were detected on the tanker Arrhenius during a hull inspection at the Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga on May 25. The vessel, which arrived from Belgium's port of Antwerp to load liquefied petroleum gas, entered Ust-Luga on May 20 and was scheduled to sail to the Turkish port of Samsun. The mines were deactivated, and authorities concluded they could not have been installed in Russian territorial waters.
