UKRAINIAN military sources report Russian forces have dropped what they suspect to be sea mines in the Black Sea in the direction of civil navigation channels, reports Fort Lauderdale's Maritime Executive.
Last week, Ukraine reported that 50 ships had transited its temporary shipping corridor since it was launched in August. They said that more than 30 ships had loaded exports and that all three of Ukraine's main Black Sea ports were functioning.
Ships are making the transit following the corridor which courses west from Ukraine along the coastline of the Black Sea through Romanian and Bulgarian waters before reaching Turkey.
'The Black Sea also recorded the activity of tactical aviation with another dropping of unidentified objects in the direction of humanitarian navigation corridors of civil shipping,' Ukraine's Operational Command South wrote in its daily updates two days ago. The military force provides daily updates on social media channels.
In addition, they are reporting that russia now has six warships in the region, including five in the Black Sea and one in the Sea of Azov. They are warning that in recent days Russia has introduced additional rockets and missiles, but so far none have been used on civilian shipping.
In addition, the periodic attacks mostly with drones or sometimes rockets, continue primarily in the seaport region around Odesa.
