The Romanian Naval Forces activated on Tuesday a team of EOD divers from Center 39 to intervene in the area of Chituc marine levee after receiving, around 09:30, a report from the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations Constanta about a suspicious object stranded on the shore in this area, according to the Ministry of National Defense (MApN).

„From the examination of photographs taken at the scene, the object is most likely an anti-slide mine on the river, the YaRM type. The area is being monitored and secured, at this moment, by the representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in order to limit any danger,” shows the cited source.

EOD military divers from the Navy will intervene as soon as possible, in accordance with specific procedures, to classify and neutralize the mine.
