Specifically, the statement of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) is as follows:
“The Ukrainian Navy has deployed minefields on the approaches to the Odessa, Ochakov, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny fields (about 420 mines of the old NM and YRM types were produced in the first half of the 20th century)”.
The FSB does not rule out the possibility that the age of these torpedoes could lead to them breaking their mooring lines and possibly drifting into the Bosphorus (Turkey) and out into the Mediterranean:
“Since southerly surface currents predominate in the areas of the listed Ukrainian ports, the possibility of mines drifting into the Bosphorus and deeper into the waters of the Mediterranean cannot be ruled out.”
