This was reported by the press service of the Operational Command South.
It is noted that on the morning of July 26, two mines detonated in the water near one of the beaches in Odesa region. Their type could not be identified. Another mine exploded spontaneously last night, July 25, on the Black Sea coast of Mykolaiv region. The explosion damaged several dozen windows in the buildings of a recreational facility. There were no casualties.
"The mine danger of the coast and coastal waters is extremely high, increased by the effects of man-made flooding after the Russian occupiers blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station. It brought a lot of explosive objects into the sea. In addition, the enemy's provocative behavior in the Black Sea may lead to an additional increase in mines," the Operational Command South emphasized.
On May 25, the regional Department of Health of Odesa region stated that it did not recommend opening beaches for swimming and advised to take only sunbathing.
