Half a ton of explosives were found on board a boat discovered in the Black Sea, believed to belong to an unmanned maritime vehicle, Romanian authorities reported on April 3. The Naval News portal reports this.

The found ship was towed to the port of Constanta at the end of last week and remained there for almost the whole day. According to data, it was about 10 meters long and probably belonged to Ukrainian owners. The Romanian Ministry of Defense has suggested that the boat could have been used as an unmanned maritime vehicle.

“Such a quantity of explosives, especially in port, could lead to a serious explosion, which poses an extreme danger to infrastructure and ships in the port “, said retired commander Valentin Mateiu in an interview with Romanian television.

The boat was delivered to the training ground in Capu Midia (in the district of Constanta) and subjected to a controlled explosion by specialists from the army and RSI (Romanian Information and Security Service) . The power of the explosion was so significant that many residents of Constanta called 112.
