The jet ski will be handed over to the military for a more thorough analysis after the initial examinations are completed. Turkish military diving teams have been regularly clearing mines drifting in their waters since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Background: Turkiye, Romania and Bulgaria launched mine clearance operations in the Black Sea at the beginning of the month.
